The History

It all started when George Peck, along with hundreds of his colleagues, was laid off from a really huge, fat company in 1994. When the project manager for the contract Visual Basic gig that followed walked in and asked, "Do you know Crystal Reports," George committed to learn it (and, it was the last time George "stretched the truth" a bit about how well he knew a product--the project manager was never the wiser)! And, things just went uphill from there. From Crystal Reports 3 and Crystal Info 7 in the mid 90's, all the way to the current SAP BusinessObjects/Crystal BI products, we have been, and are now, hip to the tools. We've been doing BI, in its various forms, for well over 15 years. A fair number of customers are still working with us after coming on board in the 90s. BI is all we do. And, we do it really well.

The People

A core group. Really technical, unless you're Denise Peck. Then, you're pretty technical (Denise started out as a mainframe COBOL programmer), but just really nice, and really persuasive and persistent. A few professionals from varied backgrounds; George Peck did AM radio as a kid (and still does FM and Internet radio as a volunteer), and started programming a Radio Shack TRS-80 "back in the day." Now, he makes all this stuff work and writes books about it. There's Brian Norris, who moved into BI from graphic/multimedia design. Or, Jen Boyle, who figured out that she much preferred making technology work instead of selling it (she leaves that to Denise).

All committed to making sure you get the right BI products, the best BI training, and BI systems that work. End of story.
