Originally founded under the name
Great Lakes Area Commercial Internet,
GLACI was incorporated in 1996 and has been providing a broad array of
technology consulting services ever since. While many of our customers
remain in the Great Lakes region, our work has stretched across the
United States and into Canada and Europe. We specialize in custom software
development but also provide network and system support services as well
as technology training and computer based learning services. We consider
ourselves experts at leveraging open source technology to lower costs and
maximize efficiency.

Software Development
GLACI has extensive experience developing many types of software, but two
categories really stand out: Web Based Applications and Embedded Systems.
We also have extensive experience developing enterprise middleware that
utilizes Service Oriented Architecture design principles.
System Support
Our expertise in network and system support services derives from our roots
as an Internet Service Provider. Right from the beginning, we worked with
large networks, heavily utilized servers, and a diverse customer base. We
became experts on network security and squeezing maximum value from hardware
and network infrastructure. We have become particularly expert at
consolidating servers and migrating network environments, helping various
clients when they acquire or merge with other business entities. We also
provide remote management services under support contract or time and
material terms.
Technology Training
Over the years, GLACI has also provided technology training for many of
our clients, both through one-on-one mentoring and classroom based course
material. More recently, we have begun developing computer based training
software under our trademarked
SkillTrek product name.
