Tally Definition Language to Enable Channel and Developer Community to Value-add to Their Business and Skill-set

NEW DELHI: Tally (India) Pvt. Ltd., the leading provider of business accounting solutions announced that the company has opened up the market for providing solutions in and around Tally. This major initiative has been taken to simplify the integration of Tally solutions with the existing IT infrastructure of end-users and also to better meet their business requirements. Tally Definition Language (TDL), which is the object-oriented language with which Tally itself has been written, allows unrestricted re-usage of code and interacts closely with the underlying object oriented database. 

Tally Developer is a huge boon for the channel partners as it allows them to value-add greatly to their business by being able to address the unique requirements of each customer.. Parallely, Tally India has also opened its gates in introducing a Training and certification program targeting the student community on Tally Definition language. The program’Tally Technologies program’’ is aimed at churning out Tally Technology professionals who are in great demand in the market place. The Developer tool is targeted at developers with ISVs, SIs, entrepreneurs, students and Tally partners.

“Tally Developer is an integrated development environment for TDL and the default TDL source code for Tally is provided along with it. This is our first step towards making Tally a platform of choice for application developers. We are building an ecosystem to support the growing number of customers and their specific requirements. This is also a great opportunity for our partners and entrepreneurs to create new business offerings,” said D Kalyanaraman, president and l head, Global Services Business, Tally (India) Pvt. Ltd.

Tally’s Global Services Business group serves as a thought leader in bringing about premium value offerings to Tally Users through the ecosystem. This new initiative by the business group comes close on heels with the recent new launches by Tally including the world’s first concurrent multilingual software. Different versions of TallyDeveloper will be available to serve requirements in three different segments – TallyDeveloper Academic, TallyDeveloper Professional and TallyDeveloper Enterprise. TallyDeveloper Academic is for Tally Academies to teach students / potential entrepreneurs through Tally Technologies Program (TTP). TallyDeveloper Professional is meant for Tally Authorised Service Centers (TASC), ISVs & independent consultants and Tally customers who wish to do some customization themselves. TallyDeveloper Enterprise will cater to the customization requirements of the buyers of Tally’s soon to be launched ERP product.

The company is planning to hold events in colleges and rural areas to promote the initiative. Some developers have already used TDL to build solutions for various verticals like automotive spares, health care, construction etc..

The company is also planning to broaden the developer ecosystem outside India in the Middle-East, APAC region, SAARC region and North Africa. Tally is looking for partners with domain expertise in verticals such as automotive, healthcare and building construction. While services around Tally are offered mostly by the company’s partners, it plans to increase its services share of the business to 20-30 per cent of revenues in the coming year.
