Philosophy

We love technology.

We endeavor to use all relevant technology ourselves so that we can speak from first-hand experience.

Our mission has remained unchanged since we opened for business in 2001:

• to become the client's advisor of choice by pro-actively understanding their business and anticipating their present and future needs
• to recommend low-risk, unbiased solutions, well understood by the client, which clearly benefit their business
• to successfully implement the chosen solution with quality service, exceeding the client's expectations wherever possible

We truly enjoy watching our clients benefit from the use of technology. Just as a carpenter might derive their greatest joy from seeing a bench that they made years ago, worn with constant use and appreciation, we love to see our web applications still being used and appreciated after years of constant use.

Here are some early projects that we built that have continued to be in constant use since we created them:

• In the summer of 2002 we created an online stock market simulation for Junior Achievement of Southern Alberta (JASA). Every semester since then JASA has used the simulation as a part of their investment strategies program with junior high school students. There are now three Junior Achievement charters using the simulation and we average about 30,000 trades per semester.
• In early 2003 we developed a time tracking system to use internally for tracking and billing time to our customers. We now re-sell this application and there are currently 5 companies not including ourselves that track all of their time using it. Since it started it has averaged about 40,000 time entries per year, or about 160 time entries per day, or 1 time entry every 3 minutes (9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday) since February 2003.
• In 2003 we also created a sales database application for two of our wine agency clients. One client currently has over 23 million records in the database. In the last year, their server (which has ran non-stop) processed over 34,000 queries.
• In 2002 we created the Calgary Real Estate board member web site. Since then, they have continued to use most of the modules including the Realtor online store and to the best of our knowledge all of their online course registrations are still processed through the software we built.

These are only a few examples of the first applications we designed and created. Most of the newer ones promise to have rich and busy histories as well.
