Deep Woods Technology Information

Deep Woods Technology was founded by Carol Anne Ogdin in 1992, out of her conviction that modern computer technologies were going to increasingly require attention to the corporate culture. The use of e-mail, the Internet, and technologies then only on the drawing boards were going to foster communications among people...and those people were going to be separated by space and time. She foresaw:More organizations operating free of traditional restrictions of real estate and local employment. We're going to see more telecommuters, contractors and ad hoc teams formed for a specific purpose (e.g., product design and launch, marketing campaign, financial audit), and disbanded at project's end. She forwsaw that new technologies could make that easier and more effective. Organizations operating with more dispassionate distance from employees, and contractors...with the consequent alienation of the traditional workforce. She's seen passion migrate to the smaller firms, who are willing to work only with those larger organizations willing to give them more freedom that they would have traditionally allowed employees. Growing dissatisfaction on the part of many non-technical executives with IS/IT management's focus on cost-of-technology issues and newest upgrades, at the expense of true business leverage. She reasoned that the bright IS/IT professionals could learn their employers' business cultures and become more effective. Turnaround in the treatment of employees as interchangeable parts (aka "downsizing") to recognition that they have knowledge that can be liberated. She reasoned that providing the right tools and the right environment could free that knowledge to make it available as competitive leverage. Our comprehension and methods have grown with the industry. The emergence of the World Wide Web, and its widespread adoption in corporations has proven the original theses that formed the business' focus.
