Halo was founded in order to help change the stigma associated with consulting. We first were going to take a different approach to how we would market Halo. We don’t have a sales team so we all are horrible golfers and pride ourselves on that. As founders we were all frustrated with the process of sales versus the reality of technology and what technology actually will bring to the table. We will not accept a project if the expectations are not realistic and within the boundaries of technology.

We do believe that any company is capable of achieving their business goals as long as the business and technology plans are aligned. Honesty and transparency is the only way to grantee success in technology.

Culture

Every member of our team is no more or less significant than anyone else, we just perform different roles. Honesty is the primary ingredient in trust and trust must be the foundation of all business relationships.

We Call Fort Worth Home

We embrace the culture and people of Fort Worth Texas. We love this town! Fort Worth has a business culture like no other. Honesty and your word mean more than contracts and legal ease. Hard work is expected because it is the norm.

Fort Worth has some of the best restaurants, music venues and bars around, not to mention world class museums. There is always something fun to do and it doesn’t always have to be in the Stockyards with the tourists.

Although Fort Worth is not a technology town yet, we are determined to help change that. Attracting other technology companies who have an interest in affordable cost of living and a business friendly community.
