Seniors Derek Mebus and Dave Ward, co-principals
of Tree Top Solutions, aim to fill the “tremendous
technology need” in Schenectady County.
And, while they're at it, they plan to graduate this spring.
On Wednesday, the pair hosted local business
and government leaders at a ribbon cutting at U-Start,
Union's incubator at 4 Nott Terrace, and demonstrated their
latest product: Schenectadyi.com, a community Web site
that Ward says will “bring the Internet to
Schenectady County.”
Features include ePages!, the first online
Schenectady County business directory, and Online!, a powerful
local web community that enables a single Web site to serve
the needs of local website visitors and members of
the Schenectady business community.
Ward, a Wisconsin native and Mebus, from
Westchester County, N.Y., opened Tree Top Solutions last year. In
addition to Schenectadyi.com, the firm offers web design and
graphic design, custom programming, databases, E-Commerce,
site hosting, and computer networking.
“We see a tremendous opportunity here in Schenectady County,”
Mebus said. “It has great potential for economic and
technological growth.”
