We provided services from basic desktop and network support to Web site design, hosting services, search engine marketing (in the early frontier days of SEO) and consulting services to businesses in a wide variety of industries.Upon the burst of the dot-com bubble, we recognized that with the rapid changes in technology and the advent of Web 2.0, our clients would be better served by businesses specializing in specific core functions than by a single company that did everything.
