A life-long technologist, Stephen Worden has "been there" -- leading  projects, managing systems, and making technology make sense -- for more than twenty-five years.

He is one of the most low-tech guys you'll ever meet.  Why?  Because he's been around the world (several times) building and teaching a wide variety of systems...Collision Avoidance Systems for the U.S. Merchant Marine, RADAR systems, communications and safety systems, local- and wide-area networks, and many, many computer systems as well.  What he's found is no surprise: Greater complexity means greater cost.


"Low tech systems are more reliable, easier to maintain, and simpler to operate," he says.  He's taken this philosophy to every business who has needed him, including these good companies:

First USA Bank
DuPont Corporation
Digital Equipment Corporation
Lykes Brothers Steamship Lines
Kuwaiti Oil Tanker Corporation
First National Bank of Denver
Strategic Weather Services
American President Lines
Keystone Shipping Corp
River Basin Engineering
Benford Design Group
State of Delaware
Avantix Laboratories
Burroughs Corporation
Hockessin Chiropractic
Mark Showell Interiors
MBNA America
