During the Dotcom Crash millions of people lost their jobs, companies were closing doors and it would appear to the business owner, that a website would be a waste of money and time. Ignorance in the purest sense of the word, would cause people to believe that was exactly the case. But if you really understood why the Dotcom Crash happened at such a growing moment for the internet as a whole, it would not be hard to see that opportunity was knocking on the door of innovative thinking.

My name is Don Cormier, and I thought it quite amusing when people would ask me if I were loosing it, or if I were crazy, simply because I was starting a web solutions business at the beginning of the Dotcom Crash. Even a small number of Doncor.com employees were questioning if my thinking was a little more then optimistic.

Preparing People Today For The Things Of Tomorrow 

I guess, it was just too simple for most to understand. I had no intention on participating in a Dot Com Crash of any sort. Instead I believed that the only appropriate thing to do was not to focus on what I couldn’t change, but rather on what I could create.

At that time and even now, web development companies were simply trying to add a little bit more flare then their competitors with lower price, more flash and a  better time frame. In fact if you looked around enough, it wasn’t hard to see that was exactly the case.

Competing? We just couldn’t see that resulting in a lasting solution for the customer, so why look at what our competitor was doing? It just isn’t enough. Instead we chose to looked at what our competitor was not doing. That is why our mission and vision is so simple. “Preparing people today for the things of tomorrow.” It is what we are doing now and what we will be doing in the future.

As a young executive assistant, working in an advertising company, it was always beneficial to consider what my superiors next move was. It became apparent to me, that I could be much more appreciated and valued if I could help my superiors be more effective by the way I served them.

Sure it would be good to look at what is current. However determining what would be next would equal a heap more of success, then doing a little better then our competition. If we could practice looking into the future and imagine what might be next, we could set the pace instead of following an old beaten path. Creating a future with a principle that brings more success to those I serve, simply because I helped them get ready for the next step.

Some would say it is just to simple, but that is the beauty of this vision. Preparing people today for the things of tomorrow, would give my customers an edge that was far more then what the competition was doing.

Coupled with a values system and a strong team we chose that we would serve our customers with integrity and powerful solution that would last into the evolution of technology.
