The combination helped the Chesapeake company not only survive but thrive in today's rough financial times. Hewitt plans to add at least 100 employees in the next year, and triple that in five years. All the while, the company's scoping the world for more Fortune 1,000 clients. The software world is heading in OOP's direction. The OOP team works on object-oriented programming, hence the nifty acronym.
Analysts say it's how about half of new software is written.
Be assured, the company hasn't lost its sense of humor on the way to maturity. But pushing the company into the big leagues has been no game. And OOP has been no accident. It's grown because Hewitt was convinced there was a better way. That's when he fell upon object-oriented programming.
