Our Work

The Internet of Things aids in addressing real-time and developing needs in a predictive manner, bringing together all moving parts into one, cohesive operation. Through the use of IoT, we are able to provide critical synergy with the combination of machine and/or human generated data by wireless connection. At DBTS, we understand that the IoT drives business innovation.

A few of the characteristics we strive for are:

• Availability
• Controllability
• Range
• Integration
• Consistency

By mapping out a business strategy, we help you to get the most out of new technology and business insights to create personalized context.

We help our clients:

• Identify new opportunities
• Efficiently interact with customers
• Improve revenue

Our team understands the IoT landscape. Provided that no one vendor provides all elements needed to cohesively achieve a rounded offering, we search for the best possible fit for multiple areas. To overcome competitive challenges, vendor’s collective assets and offerings should outweigh individual opportunities.

Primary vendor characteristics we search for are:

• Proven ROIs
• Existing deployments and reference cases
• Vertical industry solutions and capabilities

We help our customers navigate issues by building end-to-end solutions that leverage cloud-based applications in the transmission of data. DBTS is focused on solutions that are future-proof, scalable, easily implemented, and cost-effective.

Our in-house software design and development team spends time to effectively create detailed technical designs, validate and formalize the user experience, ultimately resulting in the development and deployment of a custom software solution.

Using cloud-based services including Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services we are able to not only host a variety of platforms, but use these services as the foundation from which to build our own platforms for hardware and software integration based on the customer’s tasks and needs.

Several aspects our software developers can easily, and quickly provide you with:

• Dashboard/Meter Reporting
• Real-Time Analytics
• Mobile Alerts

DBTS development allows customers to use a flexible framework while managing and scaling their solutions into new and current systems. We take extra steps to ensure security risks are met head-on by evaluating the cloud landscape and creating custom solutions.

While developing for allowance of accessibility and usability in existing procedures, we leverage our expertise in:

• Mobile
• Web
• Database
• Cloud Services
• CRM
• Data Analytics
• Workflows
• API’s
• Custom Applications
• Data Integration

DBTS provides in-house quality assurance and user testing. This aspect is essential and can be used for applications also developed in-house, or those which have been developed elsewhere.

We want to ensure that our solutions provide continuous value to your business. The primary areas of focus during quality assurance and testing consists of hardware/software compatibility, user/device interaction, cross-domain interoperability, security, user-experience validation, and environment acceptance. Additional areas such as runtime management, support, and custom development integrations are also available.

Your company’s Intellectual Property (IP) assets are an important part of the identity of your organization.  Preservation of IP assets is of vital importance, as they are at times considered more valuable than even your physical assets. Domain names, trade-marks, registered design, patents, phone numbers, email lists, and transactional (purchase) behavior data are some examples of valuable IP assets. 

If IP Assets are not managed correctly, they are at high risk of quickly diminishing in value.  By partnering with a knowledgeable team, you are proactively taking the necessary steps to ensure your IP asset value is preserved.

Management of Intellectual Property in the form of technology and data assets includes cataloging the assets, identifying the “location” of the assets, and ensuring there is proper authorization to access the assets.  Some assets may be contained in third party cloud based systems that become inaccessible if a subscription is terminated.  Some information may reside on employee phones, PCs, or tablets.  Some information may be stored on servers that become useless with the departure of a specific employee.

Through a methodical process, DBTS helps clients manage the daunting and risky task of ensuring that customer lists, transactions, loyalty programs, social networks, email marketing programs, and other IP assets remain accessible and do not lose their value because of inaccessibility.

As a business transitions the importance of your regulatory and compliance audits are not diminished.  It may require even more rigor and focus to ensure that all audits are being managed effectively.

HIPPA, PCI, SOX and others will remain an important part of your business’s past as well as its future.  Ensuring you remain complaint through transition is extremely important.  Choosing a vendor to support these initiatives is a key component in a successful transition.

Facing a transition, acquisition, liquidation, turnaround or bankruptcy is an overwhelming time for a company. The process and hiring of an outside entity to manage the technology team through the decommissioning, data extraction, and asset sales is an important and often overlooked task.

Transition Management includes evaluating the value of domain names, trademarks, patents, logos, phone numbers, etc. and creating a plan to retain, liquidate, or decommission them.  DBTS has experience with industry leaders in the IP liquidation industry and can leverage those relationships to our customers benefit.
