RedPine-Making Information Technology Work for Small Businesses
RedPine
was formed in 2007 from a dedicated group of seasoned professionals
with a broad and deep experience in running information technology
companies. The companies people can boast of experience with Apple
Computer, Nike, Sequent, IBM, Intel – along with several successful
small businesses, Isis Corporation, Pulse Business Systems, ZairMail,
LaunchPoint, and others.
Ethan Dunham, the CEO, started his IT career by convincing a small
refrigeration service company to purchase an Apple Macintosh network
running Great Plains software for the same price as a single 30
megabyte hard drive - $35,000. That single purchase gave the company
an enormous competitive advantage - with the then revolutionary
concept of a computer on every desk. That investment enabled that
small business to innovate, beat its competition, and prosper. Those
sorts of revolutionary investments are once again available to small
businesses.
RedPine,
with its unique blend of experience and technical knowledge can help
small businesses take advantage of all that current information
technology has to offer.
