We offer a full range of services, from Web site planning, design, and hosting, to nationwide dial-up access.

Our mission at Teldar is to provide a comprehensive set of products and services that empower other organizations to harness the power of Internet technologies to increase their business, enhance their customer service, and further their organizational objectives. Originally, Teldar was founded in 1993 to research and develop software to produce server software that could provide more interactive content via the Internet and assist organizations in developing large-scale distributed Web applications. At the time, the Web offered very little that was interactive, mostly because the existing technology was very limiting and slow. Writing distributed software for high-volume transaction processing and other demaning applications was expensive, and typically required high-powered servers. As a result, software engineers at Teldar pioneered a technology called IDAPI, an acronym for the technical term "Interactive Document Application Programmer's Interface." The technology was based around Microsoft's Object Linking and Embedding and the Component Object Model (COM). Although promising, maximizing the true benefits of IDAPI relied heavily on technology for extending Object Linking and Embedding to networks, technology being developed at Microsoft. IDAPI has now been superseded with ISAPI, or the "Internet Server Application Programmer's Interface." ISAPI was simpler technology on which more sophisticated solutions, such as IDAPI, could be based. When Microsoft announced the completion of it's extended Object Linking and Embedding technology, the engineers at Teldar adapted the IDAPI concepts to operate as an ISAPI extension to Microsoft's Internet Information Server. Teldar's role in Internet development expanded in 1995 to include divisions for the design and hosting of Web sites, and for custom Web application development.
