Sundial emerged from the the insight that a central events repository offering distributed authorship and publication within a secure framework was necessary to promote knowledge sharing, to achieve greater organizational productivity through collaboration, and to provide improved or enhanced services to target constituencies.

Along the way, Sundial evolved to include event registration management, e-commerce, mass-personalization, competetive calendaring, content management, brands & templates, and open application interfaces as new needs and applications of the tool were discovered.

Authors

Ten years ago, a crack coding unit was sent to Columbia by an admissions council for a PHP script they didn't commit. These interns promptly escaped from a maximum security dormitory to the Hamilton Hall underground. Today, still wanted by the Administration, they survive as developers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The Skunkworks.
