The last 6 months have seen major changes for BuTain. Many of the partners are now in other locations and either working for other corporations or have set up independent shops in their area of specialty. Dave Tainer has retained the rights to the name of BuTain and is going to use this identity for his personal use. The corporate philosophy remains the same: to provide IT consulting with an emphasis on human interaction with technology and promote the most efficient workplace.

You will now see some of the academic work and corporate work that he has compiled under the BuTain moniker since the dissolution of the original BuTain partnership. Some of the partnerships will remain intact through mutual cooperation of expertise. Check the partner page for contact information of particular knowledge experts.

This Web site will serve two functions: as an informational page of Dave Tainer's philosopy regarding IT in the business place and also a wide array of his corporate, academic, and creative work.
