Our Philosophy

We believe in taking care of our clients, in nurturing our employees and in treating people with respect. We have strong expertise in enterprise development strategies and project management; which places enormous importance in the common strategic factor among all our operations, especially our Human Resources. "Our Philosophy is that each and every employee counts and needs to be self-responsible. The Company must give the employees the opportunity to promote their self-dignity by trusting them to work under their own supervision." From this Philosophy we have identified eleven major areas to concentrate upon:

Selecting the Best People
Delegating Authority
Making Decisions on a Participative Basis
Training and Development
Showing Respect
Leading by Example
Feeling Responsible for the Image of the Company
Creating Trust and Understanding
Learning from Achievements and Shortcomings
Creating Added Value
Ensuring Communication and a Feeling of Belonging.

The goal is to develop practical action plans to ensure that we show improvement in each identified area.

Corporate Bio

Knowa Internet Technologies was founded in the year 1997, but actually evolved from a much older technology business, Warren Ventures, Inc., which began developing multi-user, online data processing applications on the VAX/VMS platform as early as 1987. Our expertise in the VAX datatrieve language migrated perfectly to the SQL Server and SQL-centric database world, since Datatrieve's RDBMS (relational database management system) was a predecessor of Structured Query Language (SQL).

Company Milestones


January, 1997 Knowa.com is founded After many years in the publishing industry, we formed knowa.com to service the fast-growing internet sector. We began by developing applications that crawled the internet gathering data, under a contract with a large New York City publishing company.
October, 2000 ASP.NET and SQL Server The year 2000 saw our first work in Microsoft's Active Server Page platform. We were impressed by the ASP platform and quickly became experts in using ASP to deliver highly dynamic, database driven websites. We became proficient in using SQL Server as the database backend.
May, 2002 Developing Vertical Marketplaces The need for communities of interest for collectors of antiques and memorabilia was cited as a springboard for developing our 2nd Markets line of vertical marketplace communities. Sites like icollectmovieposters.com and icollectstamps.com quickly became popular gathering places for collectors.
