TDSI builds Front Door and DataBridge — a Microsoft‑native employee portal and low‑code studio that companies own and run in their own Azure. Behind it is a team that has architected, built and sold enterprise software for a very long time.
Daniel Levine is a technology executive, software architect, and operational strategist with more than 25 years of experience helping organizations transform complex business challenges into innovative technology solutions. At TDSI, Daniel leads technology strategy, product development, customer success, implementation services, and operational excellence initiatives. He is known for his ability to bridge the gap between business objectives and technical execution, helping organizations leverage technology as a strategic advantage.
What makes Daniel unique is that he has spent his entire career on both sides of technology leadership. He began in technical support and infrastructure management, solving day‑to‑day operational challenges for users and organizations, and progressed through consulting, software development, product leadership, and executive management. Those experiences have given him a rare perspective: he understands not only how technology is built, but how it affects the people and businesses that depend on it every day.
Throughout his career, Daniel has led initiatives spanning enterprise software development, workflow automation, data analytics, cloud transformation, cybersecurity, and operational modernization. He has worked across a diverse range of industries — including healthcare, biotechnology, education, nonprofit, retail, and professional services — helping organizations streamline operations, improve decision‑making, and achieve measurable business outcomes.
At TDSI, Daniel plays a central role in shaping the company's long‑term vision and technology roadmap. He works directly with customers to understand their most challenging problems and collaborates with teams to deliver practical, scalable solutions. His hands‑on leadership style and commitment to customer success have helped drive product innovation and long‑term client partnerships.
One of the defining characteristics of Daniel's career is that he never stopped being a technologist. While many leaders move away from the technical side of the business as they advance, Daniel has remained actively involved in software architecture, solution design, and emerging technologies throughout his career.
This hands‑on approach allows him to understand challenges from every perspective — whether he is speaking with an executive team about business strategy, working with developers on product architecture, or helping customers solve operational problems. It is this combination of leadership, technical depth, and customer focus that continues to distinguish him within the industry. He holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Vermont and is a Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator, and remains passionate about innovation, continuous improvement, and helping organizations use technology to create lasting competitive advantages.
Over his 40‑year career, Eric Levine founded and built three software companies, all of which were acquired after achieving significant revenue and employee growth. Each of those companies worked with new and innovative leading‑edge technologies. Eric has been responsible for architecting and building software products, managing design, development and testing, and recruiting and building staff. He has extensive experience in business, accounting, and finance systems.
Eric began his career as a software engineer. He founded Business Systems Research (BSR), a DEC Business OEM, in 1975 to develop business applications. BSR developed turn‑key systems for distribution and manufacturing businesses and had a division that became the market leader in supplying systems to Custom House Brokers and International Freight Forwarders. In 1980, BSR was acquired by ADP and became the International Trade division.
After leaving ADP, Eric co‑founded Layered, Inc., the developer of the first graphical user interface accounting software suite. Layered established dominant market share in its target market and was acquired by Peachtree Software. Eric then founded Flashpoint, Inc., a software development company that developed products for software companies and publishers, from specification through product‑ship. He built and ran Flashpoint for 12 years prior to its acquisition by Bottomline Technologies in 2000. At Bottomline, Eric headed the division responsible for all aspects of their Electronic Invoice Presentment and Payments System.
At TDSI, Eric spends considerable time identifying and selecting appropriate Business Intelligence technologies for our target market, designing our solutions, and working with our customers and partners to ensure that our solutions meet their unique needs.
Eric attended Carnegie Mellon University and UMass Lowell and holds a BSEE degree. He also holds a Master of Engineering Management degree from Northeastern University.
