Legacy 

We began as a brief conversation in the fall of 1997. A student approached  Dick Rubenstein, instructing a software class, with an idea for an Internet-based thin client application engine.  A part time collaboration resulted creating an HR benefits website featuring a direct connection to back office data, a technology that was in its infancy.

 

Tom Dietsche joined the company the next year, bringing needed software management skills as well as a deep understanding of order processing and  wholesale distribution management. He had authored WDS2, a popular wholesale distribution software application in the 1990s.

 

When PDAs came on the scene in 1999 (Palm Pilot), the company saw an opportunity to apply their thin client deployment technology to the new world of mobility. From this came our current development and deployment tools. Mobile applications could now be readily developed and deployed, running either connected or disconnected, and had the ability to access most any back office data.
