About the Company
FnnTEK is a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small
Business(SDVOSB) in the technology development and professional services field. We take our name from out
basic technological breakthrough: "Fractal Neural Network TEKnology
(sic)", our purpose is to turn our basic discoveries into prototype
products for our partners, who in turn sell to their markets. We rarely sell directly to the end user
although we will occasionally push a technology to market on spec. Our preference is to provide enabling
technologies to our partners so that they may lead their field with unmatched
capabilities. Our Software, Hardware, Engineering, Training, and Management expertise utilized to produce our products is a valuable asset that we occasionally make available outside our product lines as professional services to government and commercial clients. Click HERE for a brief history and description of the of the FrANN technology. You may have noticed that our website seems a bit, well...
simpler than most. This is a deliberate
decision in line with several of our basic philosophies: - Build the
functionality, not the flash
- Provide value (by reducing our rates on website
design, for instance)
- Allow our customers to add 'flash' to the final product
for their target market
So don't expect flash, audio, video, games or other
forms of streaming content on our site - we're too busy developing our tech and
empowering our partners with bleeding edge cognitive computing apps. Our goal for our site is rapid navigation to
the information you need, when you need it, on any network connection you can
find. PrincipalsWilliam E. Sadler, CEO
