Sun & Son is an industry leader in the development and integration of solutions for Knowledge, Collaboration and Contextual Interfaces. We focus on leveraging information technology to enable people to work together more productively, communicate more effectively and find greater fulfillment in their working activities. We believe that technology, properly designed and implemented, can help to elevate and enrich the human experience and support individual and organizational transformation.

Since 1992 we have delivered innovative software solutions to our global customers and partners through a business culture that combines intelligence, creativity, innovation, and service. We have worked closely with key technology partners IBM, Cognos and others to develop innovative solutions which set new standards for user empowerment. We welcome opportunities to team with technology and consulting partners to help develop truly synergistic solutions.

Modern organizations must integrate collaboration and knowledge sharing into the fabric of their organizations in order to excel in the highly connected world we find ourselves now living in. Many business practices and business cultures still in existence are holdovers from a bygone era. Today many of the assumptions behind these practices seem laughingly anachronistic: that knowledge is a scarce resource, should be hoarded and imbues power to the holder; that knowledge flows smoothly in a command & control organization through reports & briefings; that people are expendable and interchangeable.

The modern, or more accurately postmodern, organization is highly networked, flexibly structured and fluid in its operation and adaptation to changing environments. Time scales are drastically compressed, opportunities arise and disappear quickly. The organization must be nimbly responsive to make decisions or to develop products in new ways.

We require a new and different set of tools from those that might have worked in previous eras. These new tools must enable people to work effectively in highly networked and dispersed organizations. These tools must enable people to be maximally effective in fluid and rapidly changing organizational structures and increasingly short time windows. These tools must shield workers from the ever growing deluge of information, while at the same time serving up the information they need in a just in time and on demand manner.

Key enablers of this new organizational effectiveness are:

• Pervasive communication and collaboration.
• On demand and just in time access to information, knowledge and resources.
• Persistent and concurrent activity spaces where one can maintain multiple concurrent activity contexts.
• Shared contexts between people, places and things.
• Facilitation of the creative processes in ways that capture activities and interactions as they occur, relate them to other experiences and serve them up where they will be relevant in the future.

In short, this is an organization that continuously learns through interacting, creating, recording, reviewing and reusing.

Sun & Son is dedicated to helping deliver the knowledge and collaboration framework for this modern highly networked organization. Technology will serve to enable and empower people in the organization, rather than burn them out. This framework will support organizations which learn and develop persistent organizational knowledge and can thrive in changing environments. It will support organizations which can multiply their impact through global networks of partners and participants.

Sun & Son brings a perspective which combines the technical mastery of core technologies, a deep understanding of the human and social impacts of information technology, and a fundamental commitment to working to further the elevation of the human spirit and the evolution of human consciousness.

The world has changed. Old ways of doing things will no longer work in this new reality. Perpetuating the old modes of working can only lead to ever increasing levels of human and environmental stress, which can only lead to breakdown. We can leverage technology as a force of alignment and harmony, where it can serve to amplify the effectiveness and fulfillment of humans and organizations working in this new society.
