I tellitec Solutio s Celeb ates 25 Yea s of Tu i g Tech ology I to Busi ess Adva tage
Fou ded f om a accou ti g fi m whose clie ts kept aski g fo eal tech ology help, I tellitec has spe t 25 yea s helpi g o ga izatio s get mo e out of the tech ology they al eady have.
“Twe ty-five yea s late , that’s still the whole job. Helpi g o ga izatio s use tech ology i tellige tly, ot just use mo e of it. Eve ythi g else we’ve built follows f om that.”
I tellitec did ‘t sta t out as a softwa e compa y. I 1986, the team was pa t of a accou ti g fi m, a d clie ts kept comi g back with the same p oblem: thei accou ti g softwa e was ‘t wo ki g the way they eeded it to, a d they could ‘t fi d a yo e who could help them fix it. The fi m’s team stepped i to solve those p oblems a d b i gi g thei ow CPA k owledge, was quite good at it. That expe tise quickly tu ed i to its ow busi ess, a d I tellitec Solutio s was bo , ot to sell softwa e, but to help clie ts use the tech ology they al eady had mo e i tellige tly.
“That’s the pa t of ou sto y I’m p oudest of,” said Rick Somme , P eside t of I tellitec Solutio s a d a membe of the fou di g team. “We did ‘t sta t out t yi g to sell a yo e a ythi g. We sta ted out solvi g a p oblem ou clie ts actually had. Twe ty-five yea s late , that’s still the whole job. Helpi g o ga izatio s use tech ology i tellige tly, ot just use mo e of it. Eve ythi g else we’ve built follows f om that.”
I the yea s si ce, the tech ology I tellitec suppo ts has cha ged almost beyo d ecog itio , f om o -p emise se ve s to cloud- ative platfo ms, f om ma ual data e t y to automated, eal-time epo ti g. The team behi d it has ‘t cha ged ea ly as much. Fou tee membe s of I tellitec’s team have bee with the compa y si ce its ea liest days, a d thei expe tise has g ow alo g with eve y shift i the i dust y. That te u e has become o e of the fi m’s sha pest adva tages: mo e tha two decades of patte ecog itio , put to wo k o whateve platfo m a clie t happe s to be u i g today.
That g owth shows up i the umbe s as well. The fou tee -pe so team has g ow i to a 42-pe so p actice today, a d I tellitec is ow ecog ized as o e of the leadi g Sage a d Mic osoft pa t e s i the i dust y. No e of that g owth would have happe ed without a st o g etwo k of othe tech ology pa t e s, i cludi g Poi tClickCa e, Solve , a d ma y othe s, whose platfo ms I tellitec has helped clie ts put to wo k ove the yea s.
“The tools we use today look othi g like the o es we sta ted o , a d ho estly, that’s the fu pa t of the job. The e’s always somethi g ew to lea ,” said Tom Roge s, Se io ERP Adviso at I tellitec a d o e of the compa y’s fi st fou tee employees. “But the i sti ct fo what a clie t actually eeds has ‘t cha ged si ce day o e. If a ythi g, havi g see so ma y platfo ms a d so ma y t e ds come a d go makes it easie to tell clie ts what’s actually goi g to matte fo thei busi ess, a d what’s just oise.”
I tellitec pla s to ma k the a ive sa y th oughout the yea with co te t spotlighti g its team, its clie ts, a d lesso s lea ed ac oss a qua te ce tu y of ERP impleme tatio s a d suppo t. As the team sees it, the goal has ‘t cha ged si ce the begi i g: tech ology is o ly as good as the guida ce behi d it.
