Web Services
 

The intention of Web services is to pave the way for vision fulfillment of collaborative commerce by removing constraints to business imposed by IT in its present form.

The loose coupling model of Web services allows enterprises to overcome the myriad ways businesses use to reach their customers and partners today, to adopt new business models right in time and to serve and utilize adhocracy of business transactions and processes - the promise of business agility!

The Web services model is independent of whether the components being composed belong to the same organization or form a hybrid service using functions from many individual companies which empowers organizations to benefit from collaborative synergies of their trading community and to focus on their core business.

Business Value through Web Services

The introduction of Web services is delivering business value right away!
Generation of new revenue streams by exposing and combining legacy applications and functions
Reducing complexity by wrapping functions or applications with standard interfaces
Achieve interoperability between systems by reducing up-front system knowledge
Improve efficiencies using open standards
Reduce maintenance costs while increasing enterprise flexibility when making improvements or alterations to enterprise-level business processes
Operate more agile by building an open, extensible, standards-based infrastructure
 
Game Design and Development
 


 

TIMUZ Game Development Business Unit specializes in outsourced game production services. We deliver high-quality game production including graphic design, character development, programming, mathematics, level design and quality assurance/game testing.
 
Our clients are large and medium-size Western game companies willing to increase their production capacity, while keeping costs under control. We have established dedicated teams for our clients in India.
 
We offer offshore resources, technology and capacity to optimize game development in all fields where outsourcing can bring tangible benefits.
 
Depending on customer needs, we assemble teams combining the right skills and a level of management adapted to the complexity of the project.

Flash Games

Gameplay, as always is the main focus for any game. Gamers are now only too happy with powerful and innovative games that can be produced with Macromedia technologies such as Flash (especially MX) and Shockwave. This presents a tremendous opportunity to blend the addictiveness of excellent gameplay with fast online playability and fast downloads.

Timuz is ideally positioned to accomplish the above. By combining our native Macromedia Game Development skills with our gamer’s perspective and experience, delivering world-class bespoke solutions is just the beginning of the tasks that we can do.

Macromedia’s Flash MX brings to the world, the various tools needed to cater to games for internet audiences. And Timuz here is to utilize the same. Using Macromedia based technologies such as Flash and Shockwave, we can:

* Create rich, engaging graphics in our games and merge it in a fluid manner with absorbing gameplay.
* Create environments online to play and/or download these games by optimizing file sizes.

Online Flash Game Development Harnessing Vector Graphics
Arguably, the most important aspect of any game (besides gameplay of course), is excellent and compelling graphics. Gamers want to be transported to worlds such the ones that can be seen in Halo, EverQuest and Myst. These worlds are, gorgeous, to say the least.

Albeit the restrictions posed by games developed in Flash may not exactly match up to Mainstream game development, our designers working in Photoshop, Illustrator, Freehand, or Fireworks keep working with the tools they are comfortable with, knowing that our work will be usable in Flash and it’ll still possible to create engaging gameplay.
