Lexicon Systems is a small firm. Dan does the lion's share of the work. Projects occasionally require the assembling of a larger team of designers, developers, analysts, and PMs. We locate this talent in Lexicon's large network of consulting colleagues and partner firms.

"Dot-coms come and go, but the demand for top-quality tech talent remains.  The right independent consultant can meet that demand.  I founded Lexicon Systems to provide reliable, flexible, and up-to-date software architecture and development services to software vendors and IT organizations nationally.  Companies which opt for Lexicon Systems add a vital element to their 'virtual team'.  I look forward to discussing your company's needs with you."
