AKGold Accomplishments (Description by Andrew Gold):
The unprecedented growth of the Internet creates changing market forces. Sometimes such forces affect projects and alter their course.
In 1997, while Creative Director of OMIX, Inc., I initiated the project with Global Internet to create both a website and a shockwave/Director presentation to market their new line of Centri Firewall products.
I was close to completing both projects when Cisco Systems acquired the Centri line of products for a little over $50 million. Cisco integrated these products into their existing line of server solutions.
The end result was that the website never went live and the presentation is just a digital relic of the past. The good news is that our excitement was
well justified. In the Internet landscape, planning on change is a critical component to adjusting to unforeseeable market forces.
