4th Dimension is a key part of Tech Solutions. Way back in 1987, we stumbled across a powerful relational database development environment called 4th Dimension. We had a client that was a major submarine manufacturer and wanted a contract management and invoicing system built quickly for a $5 Billion navy contract. 4th Dimension saved the day. Within a matter of months, we had a database built and running generating monthly invoices to the tune of $150 million a month.

That's when our journey with 4th Dimension began. Almost 15 years later we are still developing 4D applications. On Windows and Macintosh computers, and for the web. These days most of our development is web databases in 4D and we have written over 100 applications in 4D from small business applications to big corporate business solutions.

Its not surprising that organizations such as NASA, 3Com, Amgen, and thousands and thousands of others have chosen 4th Dimension as the development environment for their mission critical solutions. After all its fast to develop in, yet it provides a rugged, stable and expandable environment. The cost of ownership of 4th Dimension solutions is so low that industry analysts write white papers on the subject.

Why choose Tech Solutions as your 4D developers?

Simple. We know 4D and we know business. You can probably find thousands of software developers out there, but very few who can understand business, analyze problems using not only the latest methodologies but commonsense business approaches, and turn the problem into a software solution in a rapid time period. After all, after you have been dazzled with all the 'bells and whistles' of gadgetry in software development, at the end of the day it comes down to whether a business problem is going to be solved. Tech Solutions understand the business of technical solutions.

But what about the 'user experience' with a software application? We are proud of our interface design, for both client/server and web platforms, and support multiprocessing, easy to use navigation, and consistency in interface design. Systems can be deployed on Windows or Macintosh computers, and with 4D Server, the same server can support both Windows and Macintosh computers connected at the same time!

On the web, our applications run securely and fast. We use all interface elements possible to ease using an application through a browser, and develop either in non-contextual 4D Web native, or as a CGI to Apache Web Server. We can fully support SSL if needed and are experts in Javascript to ensure that web page operation is smooth.

4th Dimension also offers one of the greatest abilities to interconnect with other environments, without causing any major problems in integration. The diagram below shows just what technologies we have been able to seamlessly integrate with, through 4th Dimension.

So with all of this power, coupled with the experience and skills of Tech Solutions, we are the ideal choice for your next software development project, or to assist you with your current systems and their maintenance.
