Our success is deeply rooted within the soil of good results

An idea before its time

In 1999, Dan Wilton contacted his brothers. He had an idea to build software that integrated linguistics, physics, graphics, and film scripts to automatically produce an animated storyboard for movies. We produced a business plan for FilmStudio®, a trademarked name for this software. Within the plan, each brother played a role in FilmStudio development.

The chase for venture capital was on. We were on our way.

However, just months into the project, the big "dot-bomb" hit. That's when the stock market dropped so substantially that venture capital dried up for new software ventures. The Wilton brothers came to the realization that FilmStudio would have to wait.

From this point forward, Entellic poured itself into solving technology and process problems for workgroups. Leveraging Dan's 25-plus years of banking experience, we secured contracts with a large financial institution to handle commercial operations…things like wire transfer systems and the workgroups behind those systems. Our primary role:

• Analysis of wire transfer systems technology, staffing, and integration from acquired banking systems.
• Project management for national wire transfer system implementation.

Despite our shift away from the FilmStudio project, our vision to use technology to get results for more targeted, specialized groups was a success. That vision remains intact today.

By the way, Dan's vision for FilmStudio is just now starting to see daylight. Disney and other creative companies, apart from Entellic, are beginning to produce software with features similar to those envisioned in the original FilmStudio software plan.

A greater focus on workgroups

As Entellic's focus on workgroups expanded, The FileMaker platform became our core toolset to get results. We ventured beyond financial institutions. Indeed, our client base broadened to include a variety of industries and business models.

Here are just a few descriptions of Entellic's work by 2006:

Entellic becomes a resource to DOE contractors

By 2006, Entellic developed relationships with Department of Energy (DOE) contractors doing work primarily in the area of Training Management.

Our first job was replacing a training management system that would include online registration and handled invoicing for completed training. Another DOE training contractor put us to work integrating Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR) document scanning systems.

We initiated, and continue to support, Safety Culture Work Environment (SCWE) analytics systems at the Hanford site.

Over time, our DOE work required the creation of radiological waste management applications.

We developed our first waste records system in fewer than 90 days. It immediately reduced the time required during an audit to produce waste records from two days to only 15 minutes.

This waste records system was one component to a comprehensive radiological waste inventory and control system (WICS) that has been highlighted, year after year, as best-in-class throughout the DOE complex.

Originally, WICS incorporated simple barcode scanners to assure the accuracy of container movement. Today, it uses iOS devices for scanning and higher levels of control and integration.

Since 2006, Entellic has deployed more than 50 software applications within various DOE sites.

Advancing Software Quality Assurance (SQA)

As Entellic supported more clients in highly regulated environments, its drive to assuring quality became more than a requirement; it became a passion.

For example, DOE Order 414.1D incorporates SQA requirements, including Nuclear Quality Assurance mandates, for Department of Energy contractors,

Entellic personnel helped DOE contractors write SQA plans and procedures to assist in compliance with these mandates.

In equal importance, Entellic produced and implemented a software management system that helps DOE contractors communicate software changes and document quality results.

The integration of these SQA systems not only streamlined the process and work relating to application development, it also helped demonstrate compliance and effectiveness during audits and assessments.

Today, Entellic continues to emphasize SQA first and last to support highly regulated environments.

Entellic, today: It's all about custom apps and services

By now, you've likely had a chance to peruse our current website and you've discovered that Entellic is focused on targeted workgroup and mobile applications. Based upon solid experience, we are committed to deploying the FileMaker platform; it is the best way to integrate individual and enterprise data and workflows.

Today, we carry into the conversation 20 years of experience and knowledge. We demonstrate a track record of proven outcomes and advanced problem-solving.

Entellic personnel reflect the expertise and values necessary to assure client application success. We are field proven people deploying innovative application solutions.

Entellic continues to live out our original mission "…to stir the passion and creativity of others by constructing intelligent and extraordinary software tools. These tools must naturally assist in the creative work process while leading users into new levels of thinking."
