KD Interactive was formed in 1996 with the core beliefs that commitment, drive and strict attention to detail will deliver complete and effective solutions to businesses. The only way we succeed is if your business succeeds. When KDI takes care of you, you can stay focused on your business.
KD Interactive gives you total control over your website. We build your web services and link them together. You take control of the management and delivery of all content, keeping the look and feel of your website fresh and up to date. You feel confident knowing your administrative site has multi-level, password-protected security access.
Bottom Line: You save time and money by using already developed components, and avoid expensive hiring and training costs, because administrators need no development knowledge.
There is no waiting on the phone, or hoping to get an email returned from them. There is no checking your website several times a day to see if your changes have been implemented. With KD Interactive, they have been changed by you. The fast development and realization of your website makes your business look great.
The Wisconsin State Department of Administration recently put out an invite-only email and cloud computing request for information (RFI) for an upcoming project. Watertown-based KD Interactive was the only Wisconsin company invited to participate in the RFI, and the firm is competing against tech giants such as IBM, Google, Microsoft, and Cisco.
“There were only a few companies invited into the process,” said Dan Barnes, chief executive officer of KD Interactive. “It’s a big win for us, and if we’re selected, it will be a great opportunity for us to grow our firm even more.”
According to Barnes, the proposals for the RFI were submitted in July, and the next step will be the selection of firms for the request for proposals.
“Typically in this process they will bring in the three or so companies they like best and evaluate each company further,” Barnes said. “They’ll ask them more specific infrastructure related questions and delve deeper into our customer service techniques and the specific services we offer. It’s as close as you can come to getting a government contract without actually getting one.”
Barnes started conversations with the state more than a year ago, he said.
“I’ve known we’ve had a good product since the beginning. We just needed to show them that we could provide all of the services they need at a local level,” Barnes said.
KD Interactive is a hosted business solutions company that can provide and manage customized search-engine optimized web sites, e-mail, Microsoft Exchange integration, email archiving and e-discovery services and computer backup, Barnes said.
“We can basically host everything a company needs to function as a business and reduce the load of their overhead with our pay-for-what-you-need subscription model,” Barnes said. “We’re a service business, and we don’t outsource our call centers. When people need assistance they are actually talking to our experts, that’s key for us in handling any size contract.”
