Sine Nomine Associates

The mission of Sine Nomine Associates can be summarized in one key phrase: “Research to Reality.”

In the Beginning... "Transforming Emerging Technology into Practical Business Solutions"

Sine Nomine Associates was founded by Adam Thornton, David Boyes, and Margarete Ziemer in 1999, and incorporated in the State of Delaware in 2000. Several of the engineers had previously worked or researched together in various combinations, their cooperation pre-dating the birth of Sine Nomine Associates by years, or even decades. The company was conceived as a research and development engineering firm committed to transforming emerging technology into practical business solutions. Since Sine Nomine Associates' inception, this goal has been the consistent lead theme for our expert team’s work, as well as the company’s vision and everyday practice.

Sine Nomine Associates provides several online systems for the benefit of our support and consulting clients. These include an ticket tracking system, which is used for managing support requests and project tasks.

SNA also has a file download server with restricted access for our customers. For security reasons, there is no "home page" directory of this server; rather, each customer is given a custom URL path and login credentials when access to the download server is required.

Sine Nomine Associates often offers employment opportunities for qualified individuals in the IT professions as well as operations and management staff.

Sine Nomine Associates provides engineering and business planning services for existing and evolving systems. Our services include installed mission-critical infrastructure and applications, business transformation applications, comprehensive architecture designs, ongoing support, and long-term operations training. Together, these services create durable, scalable and secure solutions.
