About PEAK 15

So what does PEAK 15 mean?

PEAK 15 (or PEAK XV to you purists) was the geographic survey name given in the 1850s to the Himalayan peak that later became known to many in the world as Mount Everest. This PEAK 15 dates its origins back to 2001 when development began on a one of a kind system. In 2005, the system had proven its worth and the company was formed to bring it to market.

Like the oxygen-starved climber making the grueling ascent up a difficult peak, travel companies face a difficult path as they attempt to reach new heights. PEAK 15’s mission is to be like the sherpa who knows the route and can take a heavy load off your back as you make the push for the summit. Information technology can be a vital tool made all the more powerful when it is backed by the right people.

How are we different?

  1. We work exclusively with travel companies, so we know the business and speak your language.
  2. We view technology as a tool… a means to an end. We don’t do technology for technology’s sake.
  3. We have the most experienced development team in the business. Our team has, on average, 15 years of hands-on development experience.

We look forward to serving you!
