Ever since he watched a design firm struggle to adapt to computerized systems in the early 1990s, Mark Berman realized that in order to unleash the power of technology, one must first focus on people: meet people where they are, focus on their needs, and help them build their relationship with technology. In other words, old-fashioned personal service in the new-fangled world of computers largely determines the success of the technology. This ethos guides Mark's vision for mouseandmen.
