Lawrence spent a big part of his career on the client side as marketing and sales director—with P&L responsibility and a track record of growth, so he knows how to integrate a marketing program with a sales program and understands that the function of advertising is to generate ROI. Naturally curious, he is always looking to help our clients innovate in every area of their business; when working with Lawrence expect to be asked, "why do you do that?" He leads our award winning team that is capable of taking on any business challenge.
Dan was developing hospital bulletin board systems before the Internet was "invented" and web-based applications before most of us had a home computer and can develop software in languages that most of us (non-geeks) have never heard of! He is also a good listener and is able understand what our clients need to create elegantly simple applications that work. And he is really good at getting different software platforms to talk to each other. This enables us to do things like pull information from your in-house systems and put it in a secure place to share it with your customers, vendors, and employees. Dan makes it possible for answers to all software related questions to be “yes.”

He is a master tactician, strategist, and innovator of big ideas.
