Semaphoric began as a Business consulting firm that specialized in the design and implementation of computer networks and software development for a wide range of small to medium sized businesses.  After seeing a rise in demand for work-at-home professionals to modernize their homes for home office use the idea of offering the same kind of services to homeowners seemed a natural progression.  Semaphoric, the brainchild of founder Matthew McKenna, a computer and software engineer by trade, was merely an outlet where he offered his expertise with Technology and the use of it for innovative solutions for businesses.

"When the opportunity presented itself to apply my skills using Technology to make a homeowner's life more convenient and productive, I was instantly excited.  I had been using my knowledge and skills for years to help make businesses more productive, why not apply the same ideas and methods to help benefit the everyday homeowner.  Businesses spend millions of dollars each year with great benefit using technology to make employees more productive.  The challenge for the homeowner instantly became how to make it simple to use, secure and affordable.  Tackling these problems will insure that the systems are well worth their value and used for years to come."

A home built today is already technologically obsolete the day you move in if it doesn't incorporate newer standards of cabling and infrastructure needed for future multimedia and computer networks.  A large majority of home builders do not incorporate such standards because it increases cost and affects their bottom line.  Another common argument is that inexpensive wireless solutions will solve all the problems of the lack of proper infrastructure built into today's homes.  But, in reality today's wireless solutions cannot solve problems with security, dependability, and interference which plague wireless solutions as a permanent total solution.  The most cost effective and viable solution will be a combination of wired and wireless networks that will utilize the strengths of both, without the drawbacks of their weaknesses.  Homeowners that incorporate the newer standards into their homes will see a far better return on their investment and will live much more convenient lives. 

The correct use of Technology can create great conveniences and using Technology to solve problems is what Semaphoric is all about.  The combination of applying the homeowners needs for the present, along with their projected needs for the future allows the investment pay off years down the road. Which is why a Semaphoric Homeowner will always be labeled a Smart Homeowner.
