Triad Interactive is a women-owned small business specializing in online application development. Our core business is developing Web-based learning and assessment programs for higher education. We use a variety of technologies, including HTML5 and JavaScript, ASP.NET, AJAX, XML, PHP, VB.NET, C++, C#, Java, MySQL, SQL Server, and Oracle.

Our flagship program is SIMnet® – a simulated Microsoft Office learning and assessment application developed for McGraw-Hill Education. More than one million students worldwide have used the SIMnet program for Microsoft Office skills assessment.

Triad is actively involved in cancer education and in research projects to assess the usefulness of technology for helping high risk populations make decisions about managing their cancer risk and treatment. One of our recent interactive Web sites, Prostate Cancer Screening: Making the Best Decision, was selected as a winner of the American Public Health Association’s Public Health Education and Health Promotion Materials contest. This project was developed for Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University Medical Center and Washington Hospital Center.
