Blu-ray Disc Middleware

Tags: Blu-ray, C, C++, Diversity, DVD, Embedded, Linux, Software Architect, Team Leader, UML

As part of our flexible staffing activities we were hired by a major multinational electronics company (based in the Netherlands). Initially, the goal was to develop demonstrator software for the Blu-ray Disc standard, which was still undergoing standardization efforts at that time.

With just a handful of engineers the project was very successful and this convinced management to ramp up the project. With over 60 FTE, the initial demonstrator software was turned into a full-blown, product mature, standards compliant Blu-ray Disc middleware stack.

It was a challenging project, where IntenCT fulfilled the role of senior software engineer initially to team leader and sofware architect later on.

Social Media

Tags: Django, ESB, Java, Python, Scrum, SOAP, Social Media, Software Architect, Spring, Web Services

One of our clients is developing an e-business enterprise platform, bridging all of online, offline, front and backoffice, as well as enabling interaction between businesses and their (consumer) communities.

IntencT was hired to help shape the platform. As part of these activities, we realized a solution for allowing users to use any third party identity providers to authenticate and interact with the frontends integrated with the enterprise platform. This includes integration with APIs of Facebook, Twitter, Hyves and the likes.

We also expanded our knowledge of these new media by means of several inhouse projects, including Facebook application development.

Given that social media have become the new "tool" for effective business, we are here to assist you.

Mobile

Tags: C C++ iPhone J2ME Objective-C

Our mobile endeavors started out on Java ME (J2ME) mobile phones, but has now largely shifted towards iPhone and Android development. We have several apps out on the market, including:

  • Statetris: a game mixing aspects of the popular game 'Tetris' and geography. Instead of positioning the typical Tetris blocks, you position states/countries at their proper location. Fun, challenging and educational! Well-received at Digg, with over 1040 Diggs.

  • BodySnatcher: Turn your family, friends, or colleagues into puppets and play with them using our patent bending augmented virtual reality technology.

Point of Sales

Late 2007, IntenCT was hired by Crossverge, a company it helped starting up during 2003-2004 . It is a relatively small company on the verge of a breakthrough in getting major customers (e.g. KPN, Action Non Food) aboard for their software solution, which has grown from a database publishing solution to a Point of Sale (POS) retail solution.

IntenCT was hired to ensure that two projects vital to the company were successfully realized. In both projects, a POS solution needs to be delivered consisting of an in-store terminal used for customer transactions, exchanging information between front- and back-office and e-business applications.

The product became a success, and in that period Crossverge was bought by Ctac Powerhouse.

Workrave

Tags: C, C++, GTK+, GUI, Linux, Open Source, WIN32

IntenCT is coauthoring Workrave, a program that assists in the recovery and prevention of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI). The program frequently alerts you to take micro-pauses, rest breaks and restricts you to your daily limit.

Workrave is released as Open Source. We offer commercial support in case your company has special needs. If your company is active in the ergonomics sector, then think of the opportunities being able to offer your clients a professional RSI tool that is branded using your company logo.

Chiropraktik Hirschengraben is an example of one of our customers offering a branded Workrave. Also worth noting is that one of the largest semiconductor chip makers (who wishes to remain anonymous) is running a trial with our product offerings as we speak.

Web Development

Tags: Django Flash Java Javascript Perl PHP Python SEO Web

We have been doing web development ever since the early days of the web, and have seen many languages, supporting tools and frameworks come and go.

The technical implementation is our focus area. For our inhouse projects, we do tend to pick up graphical design where needed. However, we do believe that graphical design is an art of its own, which is why we generally work with partners for that part of the project.

Our quest for advertisement driven revenue has led to many self-created web sites, ranging from mere trial balloons (e.g. Foodsel) to successful ones (e.g. Festisite, MapMSG) bringing in a lot of daily visitors.

GTK+-Wimp

Tags: C, C++, GTK+, GUI, Linux, Open Source, WIN32

GTK+ is a graphical user interface toolkit, originating from GNOME, the GNU/Linux desktop environment. GTK+ has always offered cross platform support, though we found the look & feel of our GTK+ based Windows applications seriously lacking.

Unsatisfied with the results we created our own GTK+ theming engine called GTK+-Wimp ("Windows Impersonator") in order to have GTK+ based apps blend in nicely with the MS-Windows look and feel. Together with the help of several other Open Source contributors GTK+-Wimp has now been officially integrated into the GTK+ main line. Hence, we are happy to report that GTK+-Wimp is no longer available as a separate project.
