Story
Default Route is a private corporation founded by Chuck Lin and Mike Sawicki in early 2008 as an application service provider based in New York City. Our ambition was to slowly build the business and expand into new product areas over time. In late 2009 we moved our base of operations to Seattle, WA while continuing to operate in New York. As we began to implement more complex solutions for our clients we were able to grow our core application hosting infrastructure. We are now equipped to provide a full list of popular managed services – in some cases, competing directly with the top ASP and Cloud companies in our industry.
Over time we discovered that many of our clients were interested in further assistance through product conception, implementation and launch – looking to us to be their technology vendor of choice. It was at this time that our ambitions expanded to include start-to-finish advisory services. In order to expand our resources expeditiously to fulfill these requests, we asked David Lin to join our firm in 2009 as VP, Digital Strategy – bringing new sales pipelines and revenue streams with him. Now in our third year, we have expanded our business to include a network of talented associates who enable us to provide a complete technology and digital strategy portfolio. We are now a full service agency focused on innovation and excellence in everything we create. Please see our services page for more info.
