Sean's skills were polished and brought to an enterprise level of conception while working for Hitachi America Ltd.

The training and support obtained at the HAL building in San Franciso was cutting edge.

"I remember the insight I gained when realizing we were not talking about tens of thousands of employees, it was literally millions of employees we were supporting."

The heart of the world's technology centre in San Francisco was an atmosphere charged by the recent birth of the Internet. "You could almost feel it in the air." Sean remarks.

The experience enabled him to develop enterprise level application planning and deployment and wide area networking technology skills. In addition, the Japanese management style developed a unique view placed a new twist on enterprise level technology management yielding a direct and practical approach to problem solving.

"It was quite amazing considering the number of remote offices supported. For the entire network of HAL offices in North America there were only three front-line support techs. One Eastern US, one for the western US and myself covering Canada."

Anxious to explore the application of Internet technology Sean left Hitachi to form his own Internet development company to focus on research and development of Internet related technologies.
