Looking Back at the Last 10 Years

It seems like only yesterday we were opening the doors of Snowbound Software and releasing our imaging SDK. And now in February, thanks to all our customers and our dedicated team of employees and partners, Snowbound will be celebrating its 10th anniversary.

We started Snowbound with three core goals that we felt were important to succeeding as an imaging products company:

• Develop close relationships with our customers
• Create solid, powerful products built on a reliable code-base
• Form a team of people who are passionate about and experts in imaging
  

Listening to our customers assured our success. The relationships we formed over the years with our customers have provided us with valuable feedback that has enabled us to continually enhance our offerings and become our industry’s leading provider of imaging technology. By applying our expertise in imaging to our customers’ industries, we have been, and are still, able to develop solutions powerful enough to meet their most critical and timely performance and feature requirements.

Our solutions spring from a base technology that is not only powerful but flexible and, very importantly, designed to be cross-platform. Maintaining one code-base allows us to quickly add new features and functions into all our products — and platforms — close to simultaneously while ensuring version compatibility when customers upgrade.

We were able to reach our first two goals by hiring people that are both passionate about imaging and dedicated to our customers' needs. From management, to our engineers and support, to our sales team, everyone at Snowbound has the passion and expertise that insures we remain an industry-leading imaging technology company.

This passion and dedication, along with your valuable input, will fuel our company’s growth for the next ten years. Thank you for helping us to reach this milestone. We look forward to many more years of dialog, innovation and success.

Another historical tidbit, one question I get repeatedly is how we got our name. The preliminary meetings for founding Snowbound were conducted in January of 1996. That winter was the worst winter in Boston’s history. Almost every day we had to fight the snow to get to our planning meetings. When deciding on a name that would be distinctive and memorable, our feelings of being “snowbound” helped us decide. And the rest is history!
