GTC

Welcome!

GTC (Global Technologies Corporation) has been around since the early 1980s. We've been providing assistance to companies and individuals who are trying to do difficult things with software and occasionally hardware. We're a behind-the-scenes company. We don't like to be in the spotlight, but we do like to help people get things done; maybe change some lives.

You might remember LapLink. We co-developed that with Mark Robbins in the early 80's. At its apex, LapLink was satisfying the needs of millions of consumers who needed a simple job done - move files between desktops and laptops. The origin of LapLink was founded at NASA to help them move data between their GRiD Compass systems (on the Space Shuttle) and Victor 9000 or IBM PCs.

You might also have heard of or used QuickSite, the first business-ready website publishing tool. It was an outgrowth of some work we did for Ashton-Tate with dBASE III Plus and which represented a database-driven web site generator which was advanced thinking at the time. QuickSite was originally published by DeltaPoint (Montery, CA) and then eventually acquired by Site Technologies (Scotts Valley, CA) and ultimately StarBase (Santa Ana, CA) in 1998. Oddly, some of the original QuickSite code found its way into a few of the StarTeam projects in the late 90's.

We've been involved in a number of other projects over the years, but that's not important. This is what's keeping us awake right now.

You'll find some insights and hints about our ongoing work in our opinions.
