A Story of International Collaboration
In the early 1990s there were three companies, spread from coast to coast, with one thing in common. Each had on their list of clients a company named Prodigy, the pioneer online service founded by IBM and Sears. Schedeler&Company, an advertising and marketing communications firm, was located in Toledo, OH. Templeton Design, a graphic design studio, was located in Metuchen, NJ. Thuridion, a software development company, was located in Scotts Valley, CA.
These three companies began to work together, first on projects for Prodigy, then collaboratively for each others roster of brand-name clients and then on special projects of our own.
We found our collective talents to be very complimentary, and our core business values to be very much aligned. It's no surprise that before long, we all became friends and much to our mutual delight, discovered that we were also avid grillers. So when the idea to create Charcoal Bob arrived, we again gathered our collective team and set out for the delicious task at hand.
The project took on an international flair when we had the opportunity to meet Phenix Solutions, a talented software group based in the Research Triangle area of North Carolina, with a development laboratory in Simferopol, Ukraine.
We still enjoy collaborating on projects for our clients, and invite you to learn more about our companies and capabilities. That's why we've provided links to the highlights of each company below.
You could call us a consortium. You're welcome to call us if you have a challenging business problem you'd like to see if we can help you solve.
Just please, don't ever call us late for dinner.
