The last project that Sam worked on was www.emetra.com, a London based eCommerce trading platform for nonferrous metals... this is the site that you would go to if you needed to buy 300 tons of copper. This was the first European project that Breakaway secured and it was the first project developed by Breakaway that utilized a J2EE architecture. The Emetra site was later recognized by Forbes with a "Best of Web: B2B" award.
