Thanks for visiting our brand spanking new website. This is a work in progress, an experiment without a version number. Things will change and evolve over time once we figure out what we want to do with this thing. One thing’s for sure—calling this a beta would be just lazy. We don’t wanna be like that, do we? "

Future interfaces, touchscreens, a visitor and a victory.
Sauli and one of our new guys, Jukka, were working in full force on-site at a client’s place recently.
