Managing Director Andrew Michael Dunn has been involved in the technology industry since 1981, working with organizations ranging in size from one-man entrepreneurial start-ups to multi-national corporations. Andy holds a Bachelor of Science degree and a Diploma in Business Administration from Wilfrid Laurier University. He is a member of the Association for Computing (ACM), the IEEE Computer Society (IEEE-CS) and the Association of Professional Computer Consultants (APCC).

Andy's early industry experience came with Webb Software Systems, a business solutions software developer, and with what is now Allstream, working in communications software development. His subsequent employment with Northern Telecom Canada (now Nortel Networks) from 1984 to 1989 laid the groundwork for his interest in the leading-edge business communications industry. As a Systems Manager for Nortel, he was responsible for production management and shop-floor automation systems to support the manufacture of Nortel's state-of-the-art DMS communications switching systems.

In 1989 Andy's entrepreneurial side took over, and he left Nortel to assume the role of Senior Software Consultant with Vestronix Inc., which at the time was the industry's leading developer of C-language source code generation tools. He was part of the core senior management team who created The Vestronix Software Factory, a new enterprise with a remarkable new vision: to apply the principles of Just-In-Time manufacturing to the creation of software applications.

In 1991, recognizing the potential for application and communication development tools, Andy took the bold step of turning A. Dunn Systems (through which he had been working on application tools since 1987) into a full-time venture. More than a decade later, Axis Computing Technologies boasts state-of-the-art products and a service portfolio perfectly aligned with the future of computing technology, positioned to service and support the Business Internet now and in the decades to come.
