One of the reasons Open Integration Consulting was founded was to create the kind of place in which we wanted to work. That kind of place operates with the highest integrity, is customer focused and is rewarded with happy customers and a wonderful reputation.

Although we didn't know it at the time, we've found that other technically minded, creative, and ambitious people want to work in the same kind of place. It's a place that provides the elements for each individual's personal and professional success. That means the equipment you need, whether it's something as simple as a PDA to help keep our clients affairs in order or something as complex as a fully equipped test lab in which to prepare for a certification exam.

It means education programs that keep your skills fresh, keep you mentally challenged, and increase your value in the professional marketplace. It can mean career path choices, with the opportunity to hike from path-to-path as your interests evolve. It means the absence of morale-sapping corporate status symbols, such as fancy private offices or assigned parking spots. And, most importantly, it means a carefully selected, diverse group of individuals who enjoy working and socializing together.

We're growing faster than anyone could have anticipated and as a result sometimes our jobs are a blur of changing responsibilities, and the high demand for our services means we have to pay extra attention to delivering the high quality work that is our trademark.

But throughout this period of rapid expansion, we'll continue to do our best to create the kind of stimulating professional environment that provides both the physical and intangible materials we all need to succeed.

Sincerely,

David J. Gonzales
Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
