Opportunity

Previous to starting Capstone Technology, the founders were the architects and implementers of several of the key manufacturing systems of a fortune 500 manufacturing company. When the opportunity arose to start a company of their own and work on a shared vision of delivering process control and manufacturing systems that provide immediate and recognizable value to the market, they decided to form Capstone Technology Corporation. They believed then - as they still do now - that by providing cross discipline expertise and the highest possible service, their clients would benefit from and realize Capstone's motivation to see their customers succeed. Strength in Numbers

Birds of a Feather . . .

In 1998, Capstone reunited with a former associate who had founded his own company, Symetric Control. For years Symetric Control had been developing a 'best of breed' Multivariable Control Package known as MACS. A merger between the two companies was completed shortly thereafter and Capstone's Seattle office was subsequently open for business. The synergy of both companies markets and intellectual capital has given Capstone a solid position as a software provider.

The Future

Capstone believes that the market share of manufacturing software will begin to consolidate in the hands of a few major players in the near future. The founders believe that the advent of internet technologies and expanding infrastructures combined with a change in the emphasis on supply chain management is rapidly modifying the way companies do business. They believe it is their challenge to effectively leverage their experience, knowledge, and capital to effect an order of magnitude change in the support of business systems at the manufacturing level, and thereby making Capstone one of the major players in the manufacturing software industry.
