 Gillani,Inc.
|
Gillani, Inc. was founded to address the growing need of organizations of all sizes to efficiently manage their financials and supply-chain so customers could be acquired, retained, and be provided the best service. We are very proud of our over 19 years of legacy which started when Softa Associates (later FourGen® Software) was established as an accounting Software provider in 1983 by Gary Gagliardi, Rebecca Gagliardi, Loren West and later joined by Gordon Schaeffer.
- Gillani had been a consulting partner with FourGen® and Endura since 1997 and had a very successful consulting practice mostly concentrated around the Fourgen, Endura and Irista Distribute product suite.
- On January 25, 2002 we acquired from Irista/HK Systems the entire FourGen/Endura business including all FourGen® software intellectual property rights, copyrights, trademarks, all existing customers/users and VAR/Partner licensing agreements, etc.
- Gillani currently supports all existing FourGen® customers worldwide.
- By March 2002, Gillani launched the FourGen®/Endura user community website.
- By May 2002, Gillani released the iDistribute (Formerly FourGen® Accounting, FourGen® Enterprise and Endura Enterprise Software) V8.1 Archiving Purge module and plans to retro-fit it to older versions of the software.
FourGen® Software Technologies, Incorporated:
- In 1986 Softa Associates changed their name to FourGen®. FourGen® was thought to be more appropriate for a company producing technology that was light-years ahead of anything else produced by Softa Associates.
- Accounts receivable and order entry modules were developed along with the inventory control and purchasing modules.
- Filepro products were sold to another company.
- FourGen® products were billed as MBD™(Modifiable by Design™). Customers had the source code and could customize it at will.
- Maintenance and patching system was developed to supply Bug-Fixes and updates to the customer.
- Software was sold in late 80’s and early 90’s mostly through “VARs” within the north American continent and the international market.
- FourGen® had representation through VARs in UK, Germany, South Africa, Zaire, Zimbabwe, Middle East, Australia, India, Japan, Indonesia and many other countries.
- Software was referenced to as FourGen® Business Accounting, which was developed up to version 3.83 with corresponding CASE Tools Version 4.12.
- Business Accounting Software Modules included GL, AP, AR, FA, Payroll, OE, IC, Replenishment and Purchasing.
- Early 90’s saw FourGen® produce an Enterprise version starting with FourGen® Version 4.0. The target customers were mid-market and large corporations. GL Flexkeys and other new functionality like multicurrency, EDI, etc. was developed for enterprises to deploy the software.
- By 1995 most Business versions customers were converted to Enterprise version of the software.
- FourGen® established a large direct sales force and professional services team to handle the growing customer base.
- FourGen® CASE Tools were bundled with Informix-4GL as “FORMS” from late 1980’s to 1996. This sale of CASE Tools by Informix created hundreds of new customers in the US as well as internationally.
- By 1994 a Graphical User Interface (GUI) front-end was developed using Microsoft Windows technology.
