Systems Dynamics was started in 1972 when the systems were written in FORTRAN and COBOL. The founder, had a team of programmers who worked with bought-out time on IBM 360, PDP 11 and HP 3000 systems. In 1986, Systems Dynamics (Software) Pvt. Ltd. (SDSPL) was formed to address the software export market.
Prior to 2000, SD and SDSPL developed a number of business applications decision support systems, product-mix optimisation and media planning packages. These applications were used by small to large enterprises in India and U.K.
From 2000 onwards, SDSPL concentrated on development of two major products. First is a people matching program coupled with an IT enabled Service with IBM mid-range servers using J2EE platform. And the second is an integrated business applications suite based on .NET Framework of Microsoft – this product is called SDBS. Both these applications have been field tested and productionised with paying customers. Apart from these applications which are used by both domestic and overseas customers, there are a few custom-built applications developed for US / UK based customers.
During the last few years SDSPL has also developed a software product called Ensemble that combines functions of knowledge management, Business Process Modeling and Workflow, Intelligent Communication and Tasks for collaborative working. The objective of this application is to create a quick response and learning organisation. This application too is based on the .NET platform and integrated with SDBS.
SDSPL has an office located in western part of Ahmedabad with modern mid-range servers, development tools and high speed Internet connection. Also, it has arrangement with a large data centre to deploy applications requiring VLDBs or DR machines. SDSPL is an advanced business partner of IBM and a basic partner of Microsoft and Sun.
