For over ten years, Deadman Consulting
has been offering excellence and value to our clients in a set of related
areas centred around the internet. We were involved when the Internet and
Web were born, building some of the early Intranet sites for telecom companies.
We were there when Java emerged on the scene, and have been focused on Java
from the beginning. We have built teams and understand the importance of communication.
Come explore this site, understand our services, or just read some of the
published articles we have written.
Cell Phone to Big Iron
Enterprise systems play on many different levels, and
so should your architect
Before
there was J2EE, Richard Deadman was chief architect for an early
"Enterprise
Applications" company leveraging Java. For the last seven years Deadman
Consulting
has been heavily involved in building business solutions using an
optimal
mix of J2EE
and ASP.NET
technologies. In fact, Richard was one
of
the first Sun
Certified Java Architects in Canada.
Lately Deadman Consulting has combined some of its
telephony expertise with its enterprise systems knowledge in developing
J2ME
enterprise midlets for the wireless market.
Check out our publications
page for published articles
on Java.
SOA, Web Services and Distributed Systems
Distributed
systems are not new. Having
a solid background in the past helps ensure sound and efficient
architectures...
Distributed
computing has been a long-time passion for Deadman Consulting, reaching
back
to early work in DCE and CORBA
to later work with RMI and SOAP.
In
fact,
Richard was there when the OMG
took its first steps into addressing the
web. OMG
lists an early
article by Richard on SOAP, its merits, flaws and politics.
Lately, Richard has been working interconnecting Web Services between
ASP.NET and Java environments for government clients. While
Service Oriented
Architecture is a new buzzword, creating an effective
SOA architecture requires an understanding of the good distributed
architecture principles, security and service granularity.
Telephony
Telephony and
computers have never
come together in the ways the pundits have predicted. But change is in
the
air...
In 1993,
Richard attended a conference held by Intel on the new computer
telephony
technology that was going to change the way computers were networked
together:
TAPI. Well, that was before the internet took off.
None-the-less, computer-telephony has been an important niche,
particularily
in the call center and IVR areas. Richard played a role in the
development
of the first Java telephony APIs, has sat on the expert group
developing
the JAIN
SLEE specification
and was one of the two founders of the Generic JTAPI
open-source project.
With the advent of SIP, computers and voice are finally approaching the
"convergence"
long speculated in the industry. Suddenly there is an interest in Java
and
telephony again and the GJTAPI project, with its SIP and
Asterisk
service providers for the JTAPI
and JCC
APIs,
is gathering new interest.
EDI: Electonic Data Interchange
The web is more than a giant playground, it
is also a vital communication link for businesses to streamline their
relationships.
Deadman Consulting has extensive experience in XML and web
services, older EDI
technologies such as VANs and EDIINT
AS1/2/3, and XML
transformation tools. We can help you implement cost-effective EDI
solutions that both leverage the new web service technologies as well
as supporting legacy protocols.
Open Source
Businesses
demand better bang for
their buck. They demand choice of vendors. They don't want to be locked
in.
Deadman
Labs runs a variety of OSes, from Windows XP Pro to Red Hat 9,
FreeBSD, Debian and Ubuntu.
We also maintain legacy machines running NT 4.0 and older Red Hat
versions.
Open source and choice is important to us, which is why we concentrate
on
technologies, like Apache, Linux, Java, PHP, MySQL, that don't lock our
clients
into one vendor.
We also give back to the Open Source community, leading the Sourceforge GJTAPI
project.
With 15 years of experience building
distributed, adaptable systems, we know how to find your problem and work
with you to develop the most sensible solution. One that works. The first
time.
Our web site is full of articles, ideas, news and information about us.
