Building effective business systems is complex and difficult – the history of hard-to-use software, and late and failed and projects demonstrates this convincingly. Many organizations want to be able to develop more effective software using a more reliable and predictable process.

Thinkers founder Martin White began his career in engineering before moving into software development. He is trained in both Total Quality Management techniques and in a variety of software development methodologies, and has both developed and delivered software development process courses. Thinkers founder Mark Chitty has more than a decade of web development experience. Working together at SealedMedia, Martin & Mark put this collective experience into action in developing SealedMedia’s award-winning products.
