The Doncor.com Story
Preparing People Today For The Things Of Tomorrow
My name is Don Cormier, and I thought it quite amusing when people would ask me if I were loosing it, simply because I was starting a web solutions business at the beginning of the Dot-com Crash. Even a small number of Doncor.com employees were questioning if my thinking was a little more then optimistic.I guess, it was just too simple for most to understand. I had no intention on participating in a Dot-Com Crash of any sort. Instead I believed that the only appropriate thing to do was not to focus on what I couldn’t change, but rather on what I could create.
At that time, web development companies were simply trying to add a little bit more flare then their competitors with lower price, more flash and a better time frame. In fact, if you look around enough, it isn’t hard to see that is exactly the case even now.
Competing? We just couldn’t see that resulting in a lasting solution for the customer, so why look at what our competitor was doing? It just isn’t enough. Instead we chose to looked at what our competitor was not doing for their customers. That is why our mission and vision is so simple. “Preparing people today for the things of tomorrow.” It is what we are doing now and what we will be doing in the future.
As a young executive assistant, working in an advertising company, it was always beneficial to consider what my superiors next move was. It became apparent to me, that I could be much more appreciated and valued if I could help my superiors be more effective by the way I served them.
Sure it would be good to look at what is current. However determining what would be next would equal a heap more of success, then doing a little better then our competition. If we could practice looking into the future and imagine what might be next, we could set the pace instead of following an old beaten path. Creating a future with a principle that brings more success to those I serve, simply because I helped them get ready for the next step.
Some would say it is just to simple, but that is the beauty of this vision. Preparing people today for the things of tomorrow, would give my customers an edge that was far more then what the competition was doing.
Coupled with a values system and a strong team we chose that we would serve our customers with integrity and powerful solutions that would last into the evolution of technology.
