The company was founded in 1992 as a Memorial university engineering class project that went wrong. Our CEO Emad Rizkalla was there then, and he still has yet to land his first job. The company has evolved — a lot -over 30 years. But we have never lost our trail blazer ways. (edited)

We are the same company that built the first functional website for the NBA’s Golden State Warriors. We are the ones that built the controls and data storage for a Get Away Special that flew aboard NASA’s Discovery Shuttle. We are the ones who built early bleeding edge e-learning solutions for Microsoft, Cisco, Pfizer, Dell, Exxon-Mobil, Subway and RBC. And, finally, we are the company which trained women in rural Africa how to market and sell solar panels that generate electricity for remote villages.
