The Network is the Computer! This pithy slogan from Sun Microsystems speaks well to our business philosophy: networks of small, talented companies produce tremendous results in the marketplace.

In the churn and buzz of the technology world, you'll often find that the best talent, the most creative minds, are in small businesses. Large organizations become staid, bureaucratic, expensive creatures, so often the best individuals move outside the corporate walls into independent consulting or small, agile businesses. What's missing, though, from the large organization is that ready access to a large variety of skills. This is resolved in the creative world by the networking of small companies with different talents.

We like to call these keiretsus, borrowing from a Japanese networking business model. These alliances, often formed by trust and good will between companies that know each others' talents extremely well, provide projects and customers access to a wide range of skills, often the best in the industry, along with solid reputations for delivering valuable results. The following are our official Alliance Partners:

	Stone Bond Technologies, creators of Enterprise Enabler, a sophisticated Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) and Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) server product.
