About Cliffhanger Solutions

Inception

We started paying tax in September 2007.

Mission Statement

Better the World, one electron at a time.

Motto

Unorthodox but effective.

What we do (executive summary style)

Our main focus is building cool stuff that is totally affordable, aimed but not limited to the utility and telecommunications industry using GE Smallworld and Oracle.

Our Name

Noun
1. cliffhanger
- a contest whose outcome is uncertain up to the very end
2. cliffhanger - an episode that ends in suspense
A Cliffhanger, don't you hate that? And yet almost every company has (had) projects like that. We decided that this is unacceptable so we decided to provide solutions to these cliffhangers. It's that simple. However, if you like cliffhangers, go to our competitors, we even give you their names, just not in writing to keep the lawyers happy. You see, we do everything to make you happy.

Why we do it

It [Atlas] started as a prototype just to see if it could be done, but started to get a life of its own. Now we just want to get rich. According to our calculations that will happen in 2067 when we will do an IPO, if the Nasdaq still exists by then. Until then, we keep inventing and building all sorts of cool stuff.
