What’s in a name?

We’ve been asked (by those curious types) where our name comes from. We chose to name the company after Nine Mile Canyon in Eastern Utah. We know that the name is very untraditional for a financial services company, but we believe the industry is due for an untraditional approach to software, which is one of the reasons we picked it. The area is very beautiful and grand, and has a real pioneering spirit to it from the original Fremont & Ute Indian tribes that originally settled the area, and we hope to espouse the same pioneering attitude for this industry in creating a new standard for software and service. Lastly, Nine Mile Canyon is actually over 40 miles long, so there is much more to Nine Mile than the name implies, and we hope that you will find the same experience with us.
