Logikal
Solutions is a sole proprietorship established in the
late 1980's. During its initial years it focused on both the
VAX/VMS market and the "nearly embedded" DOS market. Over the
years it has migrated away from anything to do with PC's and the
unskilled end of the marketplace.
The very
early days of
this company provided a lot of interesting
projects. Real-time data acquisition using an IBM XT with a
whopping 10MEG hard drive. Pen based DOS computing using
GridPad
computers. Serial communications using DigiBoard
products.
Opto-22 relay control using PIO-48 cards. Landfill management
providing scale, cash register, stoplight and video control.
All
of this happened in and around projects involving MAXCIM, Perspective,
Cyborg, VG LIMS and other mainstays on the VMS platform.
Given the
wide variety
of projects worked on by this company it is no
wonder that it got into the cross platform GUI market. The
founder put out two books on the Zinc Application Framework owned at
one point by Wind River.
While from
time to time
this company does take boring projects, it
prefers the interesting ones. Projects involving applications
which involve real time communications via MQ series to OpenVMS back
end platforms using ACMS are always interesting.
This
firm has also been doing some work with Java and the Ubuntu platform
recently. An outgrowth of that work was the creation of "The
Minimum You Need to Know About Service Oriented Architecture."
