What was the objective behind coming up with this software?
My wife and I were working for different software companies in the early 1990s in Calgary when we decided to build a product of our own. We founded Replicon in 1996 and it was a spur-of-the-moment decision. We were young and just decided to go do it.
We started Replicon with the goal of building a workflow application. We envisioned a general-purpose platform where end-users could build their own applications quickly. However, that idea did not span out and we began doing some consulting work to support our venture. At that time we were filling out timesheets in order to track time and bill our clients. Lakshmi recommended that we automate the timesheet process that we were doing for our consulting work because it was an annoying process. That was the genesis of the product you see today.

How is your software beneficial from a value addition perspective to the clients compared to other software alternatives available in the market?
At Replicon, we treat time as a strategic asset. Any company that operates without understanding time as an asset is wasting time.
