Large companies have repeatedly chosen Palladium to build software to gain proprietary advantage over their competitors. Working with internal business & technology subject matter experts, Palladium delivers fast, reliable software that delivers -- in the words of Shell International Exploration & Production -- "breakthrough change in business advantage". Palladium also recognizes the risk of obsolescence inherent to proprietary software, and builds applications using open standards and industry-proven architectures. Our deployments are intended to confer benefits and provide extensible platforms to our clients long after we leave.

Shell International Exploration & Production BV
(Houston, Amsterdam)

Palladium is responsible for three high-profile systems within Shell International Exploration & Production. Palladium's direction has changed the course of computing within Shell Exploration & Production, influencing the architecture of all technical projects going forward.

Palladium is developing a simulation platform for Shell International Exploration & Production. Bringing together scientific and economic calculations with multi-gigabyte databases, this GIS-enabled platform is exposed to experts via the web. Palladium helped to adapt and optimize algorithms developed by research scientists to perform reliably and quickly in production environment. We also designed an innovative user interface to expose those cutting-edge tools to a larger audience. The platform uses Oracle 10g, Microsoft's .NET (using C#, VB.NET and C++.NET), MSMQ, and ESRI's ArcIMS, SDE, and ArcObjects.

For a Group-wide innovation management team, Palladium designed, architected, and developed an internal portfolio management application. Deployed to a heterogenous enterprise hosting environment, version 3 of the application was implemented using Java (J2EE) and used an Oracle 8i database, IBM's WebSphere application server, and Microsoft Active Directory. Versions 4 and 5 are implemented using ASP.NET and Oracle, and is currently deployed to all 100,000 Shell-affiliated personnel.

W.P. Carey
(New York City) From 2004-2006, Palladium architected and developed business process management systems for W.P. Carey, a publicly traded real estate investment firm. Intranet tools enable W.P. Carey employees, including sales persons, to track compliance with important regulations and streamline the complex real-estate management process. This intranet platform was developed using ASP.NET and MS SQL Server 2000.

Time Warner Cable
