Skills

Our staff consists of a unique mix of technology and creative professionals. Few organizations employ the diversity of talent that NDIC offers under one roof. Typically, creative agencies will employ designers and marketing professionals but hire out when technical services are required and, likewise, professional services companies will employ engineers but subcontract when the client needs marketing or graphic design services. From the beginning NDIC has offered both, recognizing that almost every project can benefit from the synergistic effect of multiple talented highly specialized individuals.
