Features and Descriptions
Web Application Development
We have considerable expertise in creating web based software that is compliant with State Standards for both intranet and public facing solutions. Our designs integrate authentication and authorization, and meet business requirements.
Java Development
Java and industry accepted open source products are the primary tools we use to develop applications. Examples of our tools are Spring, MyBatis, Hibernate, JSP, JavaScript, and Jasper Reports. If you have an established development shop, we will work with your standards and tools to conform to your current technical direction.
.NET Development
We can provide development resources for your .NET projects. We use best practice and Microsoft standards. We put those together with your specific development standards, and you get high quality solutions.
PHP Development
We provide PHP development services that include the use of MVC frameworks. We’ll help you use PHP for small to medium sized application development, or as a supplement to websites or other applications.
Responsive Design
We design and build web pages that detect users screen size and orientation then change their layout accordingly; whether that be full screen, laptop, tablet or phone.
ADA Compliant
ADA or Americans with Disabilities Act Compliant applications is something we take very seriously. We use best practice designs that enable your application to be use by everyone whether they have a disability or not.
Application Support after Deployment
Once an application is developed and deployed, let us help with ongoing support and create an ongoing and separate maintenance agreement.
DTS Responsibilities
DTS will assist customers in capturing requirements in the form of a Project Proposal or Statement of Work. Once work is approved, DTS is accountable for the delivery of the features and functionality described by the document within the agreed timeframe and for the agreed cost. If the customer requirements change, and scope, timeline or cost is affected, DTS will prepare a Change Request and present it to the customer for approval.
Agency Responsibilities
The customer will supply the necessary information and resources for project definition and also participate in testing and approval as agreed upon in the Project Proposal or Statement of Work.
Features Not Included

The Project Management Office (PMO) provides Project Management services as outlined in their product offering. We require a project manager either from the PMO or the customer, unless it is a small project. (Less than 100 hours.)
