Ty Seddon

Ty Seddon is a software architect specializing in knowledge management, expert systems, service oriented architecture (SOA), object-oriented design, database design, project management, and business process optimization. He founded CogniVista in 2006.

With 15 years of experience working with a variety of organizations in many industries, Ty Seddon kept finding the same need; the need for better communication and collaboration among knowledge workers. The collective knowledge of an organization, properly utilitized, is any organization's greatest asset. Many people call it an asset, but very few treat it like an asset. It is not managed, measured, nor leveraged adequately and due to those shortcomings, almost never shows up on a balance sheet.

Ty founded CogniVista in 2006 to pursue his passion of working with organizations in growing and leveraging their knowledge assets.
