About Us

Seldon Systems was founded in 2002 to provide software engineering, development, and architecture design services for the voice and wireless data industries in Europe and North America. Since its inception, Seldon Systems has grown to provide custom solutions used by customer service representatives, field technicians, and operations staff supporting more than 150 cable, wireless, and DSL operators and power monitoring products used to monitor over 20,000 locations.

Reflecting an interest of the Seldon Systems founders, the name of the company comes from the character, Hari Seldon, in the Isaac Asimov Foundation series of science fiction novels. Hari, the inventor of “psychohistory”, endeavors to create a future through insightful analysis and careful execution...and the series is just a lot of fun to read.
