Who are we?

We're humans, like you. Humans with a vested interest in improving your organization's efficiency, communication and online presence with finely crafted tools that allow your humans to actively collaborate and share knowledge with each other. Our humans are from all around the US (and Canada). We've dedicated our lives to designing and developing web-based applications.

We've developed a number of tools that make this process **gasp** fun while allowing you to safely control how, where and when information is exposed -- both internally and externally. Too vague? Contact us and we'll take you for a spin through some our most successful projects.

We're open-source enthusiasts. Given the appropriate circumstances, we believe it makes the Web (and our lives) better. And our clients agree, because our solutions power some of the country's largest organizations and corporate institutions. Do you love LAMP? Brick does and so do we.

So, really, who are we?

FEAR. It's a way of life for us. No, we're not talking about the traditional mortal-peril variety. We mean "respect". And we earn it for every one of our clients with every one of our solutions. We believe the world is a better place with a little fear.
