History
Established in 1993 by entrepreneur Joseph Callahan under the original name Viewpoint Software, the company initially concentrated on creating wireless applications for tablet devices by combining pen computing with wireless communication technologies. Early products were designed to be platform-neutral and served niche markets such as sales force automation via the PenRight! Platform.
In 1994, Ciright developed business process software for the EO Personal Communicator running the GO Operating System, collaborating with AT&T to improve enterprise productivity through networked communications and OCR technology integration.
The company incorporated in 1995 and introduced While You Were Out, a pen-driven executive messaging tool that allowed digital message retrieval for corporate leaders.
By the year 2000, Ciright broadened its offerings to include pen-based applications for the Slate Vision hardware and expanded its client base to professional fields including engineering, architecture, and construction project management. The platform evolved from a client–server model to a fully web-based architecture by 2006.
In 2008, Ciright launched an iPhone application compatible with iPhone 3GS and 4 devices, enabling mobile access to its platform’s data. The subsequent year saw the company secure a multimillion-dollar agreement with the Philadelphia Housing Authority to deploy a real-time SCADA system for energy monitoring and management.
Development of an iPad application commenced in 2010. In 2024, Ciright became part of the Portals.org consortium, expanding its global footprint and enhancing strategic alliances.
The Ciright Platform 13.2
Version 13.2 of the Ciright Platform streamlines enterprise workflows by facilitating efficient data entry over wireless networks, allowing management teams to concentrate on critical tasks aligned with sector-specific sales funnels. This supports analysis of historical results, real-time performance tracking, and future business planning.
The platform is engineered to boost sales pipeline management and foster business expansion by utilizing organizational data and technology to pinpoint lucrative opportunities and guide sales teams accordingly.
Scalability
- The Ciright kernel is built for scalability and delivers solutions that are not limited to any single industry.
- It removes the requirement for multiple software licenses by consolidating accounting, document processing, presentation tools, spreadsheets, and business management into one integrated platform.
Security
Ciright employs 512-bit encryption at the device level to ensure that only the originating device can retrieve transmitted documents. This approach secures data integrity while maintaining continuous backup within the platform.
