An App for That<br />

LHU alumni lead the way in<br />

developing web and mobile app<br />

technology<br />

What started<br />

as a website<br />

business in<br />

1993 has grown<br />

into a national company<br />

serving the technology<br />

needs of multiple major<br />

corporations. Alumni<br />

Chuck Durham ‘93 and Eric<br />

Etkin ‘99 run what is now<br />

known as Seisan, Inc. <strong>The</strong>ir<br />

list of services includes<br />

custom web and mobile<br />

app development, along<br />

with integration consulting<br />

services. Durham says that<br />

he saw opportunities for<br />

unique integrations early<br />

in the online technology<br />

boom. He says, “From<br />

the beginning, we saw the<br />

web as a business tool. Our<br />

first client was Ford New<br />

Holland. We connected<br />

with a marketing firm right<br />

around the time businesses<br />

were beginning to do<br />

more with websites and we<br />

developed a site for New<br />

Holland in 1996.”<br />

New Holland was a logical<br />

first client given their<br />

location in Lancaster,<br />

Pennsylvania—directly in the<br />

heart of farming country. In<br />

1997 they won an agriculture<br />

marketing website award,<br />

marking the first of many<br />

such recognitions.<br />
