Border Security a High-Tech Challenge for Lurita Doan

More than thirteen years ago, Lurita Doan took $25 down to her local Kinko's, ran off some stationery and business cards for herself, and started up a company providing services for security and surveillance technologies. By 2003, some of New Technology Management, Inc.'s largest customers included the U.S. Military and federal agencies such as Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, U.S. Customs Service, and the Treasury Department. USBE&IT spoke with Doan, founder, president, and CEO of NTMI, recently about owning and running a high-tech business providing installation and integration of border surveillance systems at all land border ports of entry in the United States.
