About us |
The Why
HingePoint
was
founded in 2002 with a clear
intention – to help people run their businesses
better by making more effective use of computers.
The result of that intention is the ReFrame
Application Service Grid and the inherently
distributable,
scalable, and evolve-able applications that run on it.
The Who
Eric Peters, the serial entrepreneur who
co-founded Avid Technology and was a very early member
of Apollo Computer's landmark development team, is the founder and driving
force behind HingePoint. He also is the guardian
of its vision, the vision of making it far easier to
do a better job of running a business by making more
effective use of computers.
The Problem to be Solved
Eric observed that,
despite decades of development and extraordinary
technological achievement, business computer systems
remain
inherently inflexible and annoyingly fragile.
Plus, most business applications are still "smokestacks" - vertical functions that communicate
poorly, if at all, with the company's other important
business applications and the system's users - the
people who run the business.
These characteristics of inflexibility, fragility, and
poor integration/communication ability produce
systems
that really do not do a very good job of serving the
people who run the business. The inability
of current systems to scale smoothly further
illustrates the inadequacy of legacy solutions.

Change Used To Be
Easy
Growing your
business when the world ran on paper was easy.
To scale up you added people -
simple, easy, low risk.
Changing the way
your business worked was easy too. You told your
people, trained them, done! - very simple, very
easy, very low risk.
Then it Became
Hard
We bought
computers that promised to be faster, more accurate, and
lower cost. But, we lost something - the ability to
quickly, easily, safely accommodate changes in scale and
process.
Scaling usually
means shutting down with the promise, or is it a hope, that
everything will be fine in the morning.
Changing workflow
or processes cause the IT staff to wince and the
bravest of executives sleepless nights wondering what might
go wrong.
Now, It Can Be
Easy Again
HingePoint
developed ReFrame so scaling and
changing your business would be as easy, as natural, as low
risk, as it was in the days of paper.
