Middle-market Semiconductor Equipment Manufacturer

The client operated an almost entirely custom manufacturing shop, for which few packaged solutions exist. We convinced the client that a software package focused around the custom requirements was superior to a more generic solution. We then implemented the solution. As a celebration for the project completion, the client and Jim Warren literally “threw the old computer off the roof.” This was something that Jim had wanted to do his entire career. A video of the event was created and is used by HP in its marketing department, because the old system still worked after being dropped over three stories off the ground.
