Speech: From Industrial Age to Integral Age
2005
by Brian Robertson
In this speech, Brian Robertson talks about how the Industrial Age has affected our way of thinking and how our culture is evolving.
“I've worked with some software development companies where I never knew the status of my projects, what the work would cost me, when it would be completed, and how well the software would actually work once it was eventually installed. That's never been the case with Ternary. They keep me and my staff informed, they stay within the bounds of the costs we've discussed, and they always deliver on their commitments in terms of operating, implemented functionality. I can't imagine using anyone other than Ternary.”
