In 1996, started InfoConcepts and developed, marketed, and sold a information system tool to evaluate Civil War information down to individuals within regiments. From there, developed QBridge!, a simple bridge product between estimating systems and QuickBooks for the auto collision industry. We sold several hundred copies of QBridge! Sold QBridge! to Ensera in 1999 and continued its development. It was later called Ion Control which Ensera never formally released. Later, Ensera sold to Mitchell where my product was, unfortunately, shelved. I left Mitchell, formed a company called Collision Industry Management Solutions in 2002. We built ARMS (now called ABSe). Built up a large client base. We sold to Mitchell in 2005 where it eventually became ABSe. There are still several 100 customers using ABSe.
