For over two years now we have had a new website ‘under construction’ and deemed not ready for publication. Looking back over this period there were many good reasons why our publishing date was put back, time and time again, and reflecting on these individually it is easy to conclude that the long delay was warranted.

However, reflecting on the process as a whole it is also easy to conclude that once we had resolved the non-content website issues of software selection, design, security and ease of maintenance, we would have been better to publish the website at that point and make appropriate content changes closures over time as warranted. Hindsight brings great clarity its true, but at any point in time it is also true that ‘the urgent’ will push back ‘the important’!

That said, here it is for your consideration. For existing and potential HiTec shareholders, we hope that it will add to your understanding our prospects for success. For our existing and potential business partners, we hope that it will provide a more complete understanding of what we have to offer that will contribute to your success.

The new format is constructed in a manner that will facilitate ongoing publication of material and its categorization in a manner that will allow easy retrieval. All new official announcements, publications, presentations, articles and comments will be posted to the website via a blog entry, with the appropriate categorizations that will enable ready retrieval. In this regard the onus is now on us to make the website a repository of the type of information that our investors and business partners should have access to.

We view the content of the new website as it stands upon publication as a starting point rather than an ending point. It requires addition, deletion and amendment and will continue to do so over time. Any suggestions as to how this might best be done or what content changes are desired are welcomed.
