On a day-to-day basis our employees say that they like the interesting work we do and being part of projects that make a difference. Just about every week there's an article in the newspaper about a criminal being apprehended and although we're rarely mentioned we know our software helped make that happen. Our software helps catch violent criminals, child pornographers and aid in negotiation of hostage situations.

We like to say that we work hard and we play hard. Platinum Solutions was featured in The Washington Post's article, "Where Xbox Meets Lunchbox: Video Games Are the New Foosball at Firms Where Young Workers Dominate." Every day at Platinum Solutions, for a quick break before lunch, it's time for some Halo 2, the hit sci-fi "shooter" game that pits aliens against space marines -- or colleague against colleague, in this case.
