A Bit of History...
Starting in 2003 Tom Davis, the current President and CEO, of DotPartners (DP), began to execute on the idea that companies need to provide specialized IT services. The idea was “outsourced IT” in one respect or another. For those services that were out of the current area of expertise, a connection would be made to a partner and a full solution would be provided. Hence the name "DotPartner" was formed with the association between dotcom and partner.
While working at one of Oklahoma City's most aggressive and successful software companies, Tom landed several very prosperous contracts with corporate and state entities that provided the capital and foundation to support the development of a very important desktop framework that was on the horizon.
For timelines sake, here is how it all happened:
Click on the timeline above for important dates in DotPartners History.
- 2003 to 2005 - Moonlighting and many 16 - 18 hour days for Tom.
- 2005 to Mid 2006 - The development cycle of the SilverBullit Framework.
- Mid 2006 - 2007 - The marketing effort of the Framework and it worked! To this day, companies are running on our software.
- 2007 to 2008 -The DP team works diligently to save capital to bring on a high powered and well respected sales executive to take the company to the next level.
- Late 2007 - DP hires Tommy Glenn as the Vice President of Enterprise Solutions. His focus was to take the our quality software development to market and create a name for DP.
- 2009 - Software development, both web and desktop, remained very fruitful for the company. DP then started getting approached by our clients to provide staff augmentation solutions. Brand new to staffing, this team of professionals delivered. We found that we are very good at IT Staffing, both permanent and contract.
- 2010 - This was a building year. While other companies use off the shelf products to support their business or utilize overseas development firms to create their CRM, DP created their own. In fact, we used all Microsoft products to create one ‘heck’ of a proprietary system. Also note that while other staffing and consulting companies were flailing in the market, DotPartners was growing. In fact, since we really got started (2007) our income has doubled every year to make us a very young seven figure company.
Why DP?
At it's core, DotPartners is a very scrappy, get it done, software development company.
This team of professionals is responsible for the following:
- Many successful SharePoint implementations
- An amazing touchscreen product that is currently deployed on two continents and found in the lobby of many popular hotels.
- A major automotive content management system, built on top of Windows SharePoint Services that allowed on of OKC's most prominent automotive groups to automatically post a vehicle to the web within 1 hour of it hitting the lot.
- Corporation wide rollout of our proprietary desktop framework working in unison with SAP. We provided both DotNet AND SAP professionals for this project.
- Massive workflow and custom HR system rollout for one of Oklahoma's largest Tribes. We provided a very creative solution using Microsoft BizTalk, MOSS, and ASP.NET to do what two prior teams had tried to accomplish.
We are honest and hard working.
We don't quit.
Think about it. We started this company with nothing but an idea. The rest was hard work, determination, and creative solutions to go from zero to seven figures in three years.
We are good enough to do a fixed bid.
And we aren't talking about a 20k website either.
We were Invited!
Due to our success in I.T. Consulting/Software Development, we were invited by our clients to start doing IT Staffing!
We are on the A-List
We are on the list that many of our competitors have been removed from or are unable to even get on. We are very fortunate.
Our rates are very competitive.
Due to our Growth over Greed initiative, keeping our expenses low, and taking care
of our clients we are able to provide rates that our competitors struggle to match. Did we mention that we have
doubled our income every year for the last three years? There must be something to this!
A Great Group to Work With
And last, we have a great group of positive professionals that are genuinely excited to help you achieve your goals. We are a great group to work with.
