"Our goal at ADS," said CEO Robert Dempsey, "is to give everyone the fundamental tools they need to run their businesses. What sets our applications apart is that they're completely integrated - they can talk to each other and exchange information."

Dempsey's focus on integrated applications sprung from a need he identified within his own company. Searching for a way to get a cohesive picture of how all aspects of his business were linked, he found a variety of convenient tools online. But he ended up with data all over the place because they didn't work together. Frustrated by the lack of integration, he set out to develop a set of applications in which each component excelled at its own function, yet also shared data across the platform. The result was ADS AppSuite, a battery of valuable business tools that can be accessed with a single sign-on.

For ADS, the AppSuite innovation also marked a significant development in the company's long-term business strategy. To achieve a more balanced model and expand its reach, Dempsey realized they needed marketable technology products in addition to the hourly development work that has been the company's foundation.

"Not every organization is looking for a custom application," said Dempsey. "In order to engage those more interested in 'out-of-the-box' options, we decided to develop a series of highly functional, integrated products to complement our Rails consulting services."

ADS intends to continue expanding its AppSuite, and new additions are already in the works. An invoicing and time-tracking application - Monetiz'd - is up next, and the company is currently developing an AppSuite management dashboard to provide insight into the entire system at a glance.
