About Us

HexEdge Software solutions enable companies to implement new workflows and leverage enterprise technology better. The company was formed when it was spun out of Eagle Point Software in early 2010. With over 26 years of experience in developing and implementing software systems, we have come to find that successful organizations understand that adopting new workflows is just as critical as deploying the latest technology solutions.

Our Roots

Like so many other technology startups, our story began in 1983 with two people saying "There's got to be a better way" and with a heavy dose of entrepreneurship, a software company sprouted from the founder’s basement. Our software helped Civil Engineers and Surveyors design the nation's infrastructure from subdivisions to retail sites and city streets to interstate highways.

In the following years, our company saw triple digit growth that led to a very successful initial public offering in 1995. Back then, it was easy. We solved real problems for people and gave our customers a level of efficiency that was 10x to 100x better than designing on the drafting board. Engineering firms needed our software to compete. We simply added more capabilities with those types of gains and people bought the next release. And Wall Street liked our approach as well… for a while.

The trouble was, as we added more and more features, customers became overwhelmed. Because they couldn’t keep up with the advances, they were no longer reaping the benefits of our new releases. They began asking us, “Why buy a new release when we’re not using 80% of the features we already own?”

Time to Reinvent Ourselves

Confronted with this dilemma we decided to go private which gave us the freedom to think outside the box. Rather than continuing to add features to our existing software, in late 2005 we began researching better ways to help customers use all of the features and technology they already owned. By early 2007, the Pinnacle Series was released to do just that.

By combining the delivery of best practices with the links to the right features to use at the right time in the process, customers could now realize the benefits from the software that were previously left unused. Additionally, they started incorporating their own intellectual property into their workflows. Pinnacle Series became a great resource for training new people on the way work flowed through their organization. This resulted in the time to productivity for new people being reduced dramatically.

Going Forward

We recognize that our situation is not unique. Our competitors in the Engineering CAD market space experience similar problems with underutilized technology. Realizing this, we’ve built a relationship with our biggest competitor and instantly created a market for Pinnacle Series 5 times bigger than our own installed base.

And it doesn’t stop there. We see Pinnacle Series being valuable in virtually any enterprise where people need to follow best practices and take better advantage not only of their existing tools but also in new features and capabilities when upgrades are rolled out.

Today, we’re focusing our efforts to expand Pinnacle Series beyond Engineering firms and are looking for opportunities to work with other IT consultants, systems integrators and software vendors to help organizations implement technology better.
