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 />
