Intellitec Solutions, a trusted enterprise resource planning (ERP) advisor and reseller, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this week. The milestone is not just about longevity but about the evolution of the company's expertise alongside the technology it supports. Founded out of an accounting firm in 1986, Intellitec began when clients repeatedly sought help with accounting software that wasn't meeting their needs. The firm's team, leveraging their CPA backgrounds, stepped in to solve these problems, and that problem-solving approach quickly became a standalone business. Intellitec was not born to sell software but to help clients use their existing technology more intelligently.
"That's the part of our story I'm proudest of," said Rick Sommer, President of Intellitec Solutions and a founding team member. "We didn't start out trying to sell anyone anything. We started out solving a problem our clients actually had. Twenty-five years later, that's still the whole job. Helping organizations use technology intelligently, not just use more of it. Everything else we've built follows from that."
Over the years, the technology landscape has transformed dramatically, from on-premise servers to cloud-native platforms, and from manual data entry to automated, real-time reporting. Yet, the core team has remained remarkably stable, with fourteen members having been with the company since its earliest days. This tenure has become a significant advantage, offering over two decades of pattern recognition that benefits clients on any platform they use today. The company has grown from that fourteen-person team to a 42-person practice and is now recognized as a leading partner for Sage and Microsoft.
This growth has been supported by a network of technology partners, including PointClickCare and Solver, whose platforms Intellitec has helped clients implement and optimize. "The tools we use today look nothing like the ones we started on, and honestly, that's the fun part of the job. There's always something new to learn," said Tom Rogers, Senior ERP Advisor and one of the first fourteen employees. "But the instinct for what a client actually needs hasn't changed since day one. If anything, having seen so many platforms and so many trends come and go makes it easier to tell clients what's actually going to matter for their business, and what's just noise."
Intellitec plans to celebrate the anniversary throughout the year with content spotlighting its team, clients, and lessons learned from 25 years of ERP implementations and support. As the company sees it, the goal remains unchanged: technology is only as good as the guidance behind it. This philosophy has driven Intellitec from its roots in an accounting firm to its current status as a trusted advisor in the ERP space.
