When you're climbing that mountain, isn't it comforting to know that someone has been there before? It might even save your life. Well, in the area of computers, local and wide area networks and the Internet, we have indeed been there before. We can guide you to the top.
Especially the Internet. We had the good fortune to work with a national consumer company just starting out. We put them on the Web early on, and they have been extremely successful online. We learned a lot. And without disclosing anyone's business secrets, we can translate a lot of what we learned to your firm, large or small. If you market to consumers and you want to move to the Internet, we have done it. We can guide you there.
We have been working with computers and area networks for a long time. We have seen others' mistakes, have made our share, and we know where the bodies are buried. But we have been part of many successes.
For example, back when there was no Oracle or DB2 or SQL Server database software, we wrote a database program that was used to produce the first printed master list of recommended stocks at a large national brokerage firm on Wall Street. This was in the late Sixties. A decade later, we supervised the first successful office automation installation at a Fortune 500 firm in New York City. And in the Eighties, we ran a national computer network and spec-ed out and installed the first local area computer network in one of this same firm's divisions. In the Nineties, we began computer consulting and were responsible for over $2 million in sales, before we saw the potential of the Internet and started this company. These are a few of the highlights of over 35 years in the computer field. This experience is available to you.
And now the huge potential of the Internet awaits nearly any firm that isn't afraid to climb that mountain and peer into the future. We have been there. We can guide you as you make that upward, and profitable, journey.
