OUR CULTURE
Two university professors founded this company while working out of a garage to build something innovative and inclusive. Four decades later, we’re still working hard to grow in a way that keeps people and relationships at the forefront of progress - we just have nicer offices.
OUR COMMUNITY
We are committed to giving back to the communities in which we live and work.
PEOPLE FIRST
We believe work is a part of life, not the opposite. Our benefits and initiatives allow you to prioritize the things most important to you
There are endless milestones that define who Infotech is today. And that’s not even the best part. Because this timeline isn’t just meant to show our history - it’s meant to show opportunity.
Before It All Began
Dr. Jim McClave works out of his garage as a legal consultant when he’s not teaching at the University of Florida. Meanwhile, at the University of Missouri, Dr. Tom Rothrock completes his Ph.D. thesis on the statistical analysis of sealed bid markets that would form the basis of our early techniques for detecting bid rigging.
Jim takes time off from UF without pay to keep growing Infotech, renting two rooms in an accounting company’s office. Several employees join the company who are still part of the Infotech family today. Will and Jamie McClave, Infotech's future Presidents, are 8 and 6 years old respectively.
Infotech rewrites all its software in the new IBM CICS and DEC VAX environments, creating a standardized enterprise application. This development allowed for scalability across multiple DOTs with a single code base on each platform.
Infotech’s reputation grows in more ways than one. As the software business begins developing Appia® for construction administration and inspection, the Consulting business participates in a high-profile case involving an Anheuser-Busch distributorship founded by professional baseball player Roger Maris.
Not wanting to leave out non-DOT markets, Infotech launches a secondary version of Bid Express® for vertical construction and general procurement as part of the growing ITI Products line.
The core values present in 1977 - trust, innovation, transparency - continue to guide Infotech to this day. We’re still a family company. We still thrive on innovation. Our yearly hack-a-thons and Project: LAUNCH! continue to produce valuable new ideas that bolster our products and services. We still do right by our people. We continue to value our internal and external relationships. We give charitably, act responsibly, and trust each other without hesitation. We’re still driven by the same spirit that led two university professors with stable jobs to leave everything behind for a chance to build something of their own. Our past is on this page. Our future is in our people. Let’s keep building this road together.
Our LEED-Gold certified building is located in the mixed-use community of Celebration Pointe. When they’re not relaxing on our roof terrace or playing a game of ping pong, our employees can be found exploring the green spaces, shops and restaurants that line the promenade of Celebration Pointe.
