HISTORY

 

The word/name VIRSIG was coined by one of our founding employees in 2014 (who also created our unique logo). We had been looking for a unique but symbolic name for the new company, and VIRSIG came about from the Latin word 'VIR' ({masculine} hero, courage, honor). The second part of the word remains in contemporary lore. The 'SIG' portion of the name was created either as simply a suffix for the word VIR, or as some have mentioned, it means 'Systems Integration Group.' There have also been rumors that VIRSIG stands for 'Virtual Systems Integration Group,' but the true identity and origin of the word VIRSIG will forever be obscured by history.

 

A couple of interesting facts related to the word VIRSIG:

 

• When VIRSIG was first created, it came up zero times in a Google search; today, it comes up with thousands of entries.

• Also, it should be remembered that VIRSIG Is always spelled in capital letters.
