History
SD3 was founded in 2001 in response to the new realities of the post-dot-com IT era. We bring more than 30 years of experience serving the IT needs of companies like yours. Several of SD3's principals, including Chairman and CEO Tom Overholt, President Paul Hannon and Director of Business Development Julie Halverson, first began working together at BALR, a highly respected Chicago software and technology consultancy. Founded in 1978 by Tom Overholt, BALR grew from three technical consultants to over 120 people before its purchase by Whittman-Hart in 1999. BALR was widely recognized for the rigorous hiring processes, growth-promoting culture and performance-oriented customer service that are also hallmarks of SD3's approach. We bring diverse experience from other top Chicago-area technology companies. All share a commitment to SD3's mission: Providing the highest level of service, quality and satisfaction while implementing successful software technology solutions for our customers.
