The developers of Uptime had developed a purchase requisition module for Hewlett-Packard and was able to retain ownership of the core code. Don Teague, Vice President of Marketing and Sales, retained Walden Research to re-package and introduce a customized purchase requisition solution, based on the core-module owned by Uptime, to manufacturing groups outside of Hewlett-Packard. The success of our work led to the formation of SolutionPro, a software engine firm that was successfully sold only 1 year later. When Don Teague moved on as VP of marketing for SecureBill, a "buy on the web, pay by the phone" company, Walden Research was brought along until growth led to its purchase by E-billit.
