Back in 1984, when PC's
were young and floppy disks were really floppy...
we were known
as The Corporate Training Group. Our mission then was to provide
microcomputer training to Corporate America. Our first client was the
American Institute of Banking, the training arm of The American
Bankers Association. We were contracted to help set up their
microcomputer training curriculum. We still have fond memories of
WordStar, MultiMate, dBase II and VisiCalc (not to mention CP/M and TRSDOS).
In the years
that followed, our clients increasingly requested our assistance in
developing customized applications for their PC’s. At first, our
client list consisted exclusively of large corporations such as AT&T,
Barclays Bank, Chase Manhattan Bank, Merrill Lynch and Union Carbide.
Today, half of our clients are small businesses and non-profit
organizations.
As the 80's gave way to the
90's, and training became an increasingly smaller part of our business,
someone came up with the brilliant idea that we change our name.
Unfortunately, that person never dealt with New York State corporate tax
laws. Be that as it may, we are today known as Corporate Technology,
Inc. and we are not likely to change our name again any time soon.
By the time the world was
preoccupied with potential Y2K nightmares, we had already launched several
successful web sites. Y2K came and went without a single hitch.
Our model of Internet commerce was proven successful, while the dot com
companies who thought we weren't "big" enough, have all gone belly
up.
We haven't gotten much
richer, but we're doing what we really enjoy. We still don't have a
sales staff. We still don't advertise. And we still don't have a
full-time secretary. We make do with fairly modest quarters. We
keep expenses down, we pass the savings unto you and everybody's happy.
We are an equal
opportunity employer.
That means, we don't care about your race, gender, age or religion.
Intelligence... is another matter. So are work habits. So if you
think you're pretty smart and you don't mind working hard, send your resume
to Anita Jobnow, Director, Human Resources.
