DyKIDo! Our Solution Platform

DyKIDo! is an acronym for Dynamic Knowledge and Information Domain and is the name we give to the foundation we use to create our custom implementations. This is not proprietary software involving a license fee or royalty. It is simply our configuration of several different market leading open-source applications, extensions, and components, integrated with an industry standard open-source content management system to provide a diverse set of features and functions. As a packaged application foundation, it supports rapid customization for specific implementations and can easily be extended or altered for different needs.

For example, our virtual community configuration includes: a leading content management system, coupled with a document sharing repository, discussion boards, and an electronic newsletter manager. Our political campaign configuration includes: a campaign donation manager, volunteer manager, and social media integration. The result is a modular, extensible, functionally-rich platform, that supports rapid creation and deployment of all types of interactive network (web) based applications

Supported applications range from basic websites to advanced knowledge and information sharing solutions, including but not limited to: business websites, company intranets and extranets, private project team collaboration, customer support and relationship management, communities of practice, on-line user surveys, delivery of on-line training, and e-commerce solutions.

The customers we serve include: small businesses, non-profit organizations, small government entities, political campaigns, public figures, civic groups, home owners associations, clubs or other shared interest group, and even independent website designers.

Affordable Custom Solutions

The inherent open-source structure of DyKIDo! provides for highly customized solutions that remain very affordable. Since we are using existing open-source components, there are no software license fees involved, nor is there any need for expensive software development. We are simply assembling pre-existing, royalty free, software components as needed to meet your requirements. The elimination of software develop expenses and license fees significantly reduce your overall cost. You simply pay for the effort to configure your specific website or application.

The functionality we deliver is also completely modular, creating a very configurable and extensible application platform. Individual functionality can be added or enabled with just a few clicks of a mouse and there are hundreds of optional extensions available. This provides an application platform that can be economically built to address your immediate needs yet still evolve as your needs change. Whether your need is for a simple basic website, or full blown CRM platform with e-commerce capability, an appropriate DyKIDo! can quickly be configured.

Rapid Delivery with Turn-Key Services

We bundle our DyKIDo! based configurations with all of the other necessary components needed to deliver a fully operational and usable solution including: hosting, administration, training, maintenance, and support. We continue to provide these services on an ongoing basis, serving as your information technology staff, and insulating you from the underlying technology and operational issues. All you have to do is provide and manage your content which is as simple as using word processing software. We can even manage content for you if you wish.

Since we already have preconfigured DyKIDos! for many of our solution areas, we can often get your website or application published, fully operational, and ready for loading your content within 72 hours of when you place your order with us. Most of this delay is due to the time required by the Internet infrastructure to process and propagate changes associated with pointing your website url (www. xxxxx .com) to our domain name servers. Custom websites and enhancements will naturally take longer to deliver. However, customers can usually begin with a base configuration, and then make enhancements to it as the gain experience and their needs and desires evolve.
