TPS has worked on Tuxedo projects from Atlanta to Zurich. Many assignments were to rescue floundering projects. Through this experience we found that Tuxedo projects are like writing a novel; some teams write like Shakespeare, but most don't. Creating a quality application usually takes two or three re-writes before a company gets the hang of things. If a company has multiple projects, it is nearly impossible to create common standards between the teams or enforce any level of quality control. In turn, Operations is left with a nightmare supporting multiple applications without any common infrastructure.

TPS is not satisfied with just rescuing projects. By fulfilling our mission statement, we provide the edge companies need to be successful in their development processes:

• Single Source - Most projects are delayed by the endless research that must be done to integrate differing technologies and discovering the nuisances of such integration. By providing expertise on Tuxedo, Operating Systems, DBMS, Queueing Systems, and Networking technology, questions can be answered in minutes instead of hours or days.
• Right the First Time - Often companies get into trouble because a prototype is built as proof of concept, and then pushed directly into production. This typically results in endless problems for Operations. Consequently the application is re-written to address Operational problems, with new functionality also added. TPS doesn't believe in paying for the same real-estate twice. By using the TPS Tuxedo Toolkit (T3) companies can develop Production-Ready applications in Prototype time frames.
• Performance/Capacity Planning - TPS has worked extensively with existing applications, improving their performance and capacity. TPS has been able to revive applications that were D.O.A, to increasing the performance of some applications by 400%. In addition, the TPS Tuxedo Toolkit (T3) comes with builtin metric gathering and reporting infrastructure. Any application built with T3 can instantly be monitored and measured from numerous performance views.
• Security - TPS has worked extensively with Encryption and Digital Signature technology to create highly secure applications. These applications feature the classical security attributes of Privacy, Authentication, Authorization, Integrity, and Non-Repudiation (PAAINR). This can be integrated into the Tuxedo Security Framework or work outside of said framework. In addition the security can be made Sessionless and pass transparently through a Tuxedo complex. TPS has created the Sessionless Security System (S3) for this capability.
• High Availability - Practically every system TPS has worked with had some high level of availability. TPS has created Instanteous Failover to automatically provide HA capabilities to any application written with the TPS Tuxedo Toolkit (T3). IF provides the ability for a Tuxedo application to switch from one machine to another less than 1 second after detecting a system failure. Not only does the switch take place almost instantaneously, but the secondary system can be in another city, geographically seperated for disaster planning. This means high-value applications can run at 99.999% uptime.
