Darren Ditto, Correlieu graduate and Miller Software Consulting Partner, says "High-tech can, and is, doing well in the North and my degree from the University of Northern British Columbia was perfect preparation for the work we're doing at Miller Software Consulting".

"I'm pleased to be offering a world class high-tech software company in Northern British Columbia and to be employing top-notch UNBC graduates who are familiar with the northern needs associated with high-tech development" says Daniel Miller, owner of Miller Software Consulting.
