Document people, building our own software

We've been in the document business since the early 1990s, starting as copier technicians and salespeople, then moving into microfilm and some of the earliest document imaging systems. Along the way we sold, installed and supported many other companies' document management products, and evaluated many more.

We also watched those companies change hands. Products we depended on were bought, merged and sold again, and some came to be run by investors instead of the people who built them. Each change brought a new focus and new software, and customers paid the price. That's why we decided to build our own product.

REV3 is the third generation of that product, and it's the result of everything we've learned. Every feature exists because a real customer needed it, and every workflow was shaped by real-world use. We don't just build document management software. We've lived it.

We've worked through every stage of document technology:

• microfilm to digital images;
• barcodes and OCR to forms processing;
• forms processing to machine learning;
• robotic process automation (RPA) to AI;
• and now AI toward SI, whatever the next acronym turns out to be.

Each wave changed how documents get captured and understood, and we've adopted each one as it proved itself. Some of them we developed ourselves, and the industry adopted them. We're on track to do it again with our fresh approach to workflow management.

We've also watched where software lives swing back and forth: in-house to online and back, in-house to outsourced and back, individual servers to virtual machines, and now on-premises versus cloud. REV3 is built so you don't have to bet on the next move. The same containers run on your own servers or in the cloud, and they can move between the two.

REV3 runs on the same modern infrastructure large software companies use: Kubernetes and containers, separate staging and production, and full metrics and logging. AI coding agents write most of our code under the direction of our developers. Every change goes through an automated CI/CD pipeline that builds and tests it, and nothing reaches production without a person testing, approving and releasing it. AI's role will only grow. The accountability stays with people.

REV3 and Evo run at:

• truck and equipment dealer groups across the US and Canada;
• one of Utah's largest semiconductor companies;
• electrical contractors and fast-food chains;
• county recorder's offices, title and real estate companies;
• one of Utah's oldest roofing contractors;
• staffing and HR management companies.

We know these customers and their people by name, and they know us. Most have been with us for years.

Alongside REV3, we run a service bureau that converts microfilm and microfiche into searchable digital records. It's where we started in 2008, and it's still an important part of our business. When a customer has decades of records on film, REV3 can bring them in too.
