About Dovetail Software, Inc.
|
Dovetail Software, Inc. was incorporated in 1992 in the state of Colorado as a sub-chapter S corporation. Our mission is to help our clients specify, architect, design and build software components and applications. Our goals in this mission are on time and budget performance.
Our initial product was the Dovetail Help System 1.0, which progressed to release 3.4. In early 1994 we introduced a family of products under the family name Dovetail Advantage. All of our products were designed to augment the development of XVT based software applications. In mid 1994, a version of our flagship Dovetail Help System (3.1) was introduced that enabled both XVT and native programs written for WINDOWS, Motif and OS/2 PM to use a single common help interface for both help files and application programs. The Dovetail Advantage product family was sold to XVT in 1997.
Since 1997 we have provided contracting and consulting services. Our team has provided quality and timely consulting to Fortune 500, governmental and smaller organizations. Systems and application development services, with an emphasis on complex data-driven distributed systems, is our specialty.
Dovetail president, Tim Beres, began (software) life as a UNIX kernel and high performance graphics sub-system developer. He has extensive experience with Java, MFC, XVT and native GUI toolkits running on UNIX/Linux and Windows platforms. Mr. Beres functions as the software architect and lead developer, providing both high-level designs, as well as delivering code, documentation and management work product to Dovetail clients.
Dovetail also utilizes the services of several experienced independent contractors for much of the product development process, and to staff contracting and consulting projects. Dovetail also employs Q&A, configuration and administrative personnel.
Dovetail provides software design & development services and products. We utilize a portable object oriented approach to software engineering, with an emphasis on iterative methodologies. We have used "process" before the idea of "process maturity" came into wide use. We provide considerable expertise and capabilities in web development, distributed client-server and peer-to-peer systems, large database environments and the man-machine interface.
We utilize Linux servers (firewall, HTTP, dynamic web, email), Sun SPARC X11, Windows NT/2000/XP, Windows 9x, OS/2 and Macintosh workstations and file servers in the development process. In conjunction with high speed networking, wireless, Internet, multimedia tools and the latest in software engineering tools, we are capable of providing in-house or customer site contracting and consulting. With over 150 customers and dozens of different projects, we have the experience and know how to increase your application quality and decrease time to market.
