Tall
Trees Technologies was formed by Daron Hickman and Jim Elphick in 1997
and later incorporated in 1999 as Tall Trees Technologies, Inc. Tall
Trees was the outgrowth of an earlier endeavor, Fusion Technologies.
Tall
Trees Technologies was formed with an unusual focus: deep, not wide. As
a consequence, Tall Trees employs only a few, highly skilled
consultants with customer satisfaction as their only measure of
success. The 'small' group has not kept Tall Trees from large
achievements.
In 1999, IBM/Lotus honored Tall Trees with a
Finalist - Beacon Award "Best Industry Solution, Regulated Industries".
The IBM/Lotus Beacon Awards are a world-wide competition for best
business solutions in various categories. Beacon Awards nominations
must be submitted by customers. We are very proud to have simply been
nominated because our customer believed we had delivered such value to
them. To have achieved even higher recognition -- by placing 2nd --is a
humbling accomplishment. A 2nd place finish is like taking a Silver at
the Olympics. We are grateful. (You can read what the Beacon
Award judges read here. Someone ( a German company) actually captured the entire set of 1999 Beacon Award winners and finalists here)
