Snowflake Software - what's in a name?

In the geospatial industry there are so many geo, info, map, spatial, tech, thingy named companies, that so few organisations stand out. Back in 2001 we chose the name Snowflake Software because we wanted to be different, not just by name but the way we do business.

Yes we get some strange looks, but nobody forgets our name. More importantly, to our customers our name is just that, a name, they remember us for the service we provide and solutions we deliver.

But why specifically Snowflake Software?

Well our founders Ian Painter and Eddie Curtis are both software engineers by trade and whilst Ian's first software program printed Hello World on screen, Eddie's first software program was a Snowflake crystal emulator - thus the name Snowflake Software and the reason why Eddie turned out to be our Chief Technology Officer!
