The story
Ciright Systems was founded in 1993 by Joseph Callahan (then known as Viewpoint Software) as a company that initially developed wireless applications on tablet devices and incorporated advances in pen computing and wireless technologies. Ciright has built solutions for hand held computers that are platform independent.
Ciright was founded in 1993, coding sales force and field worker applications for multiple specific vertical markets on the PenRight! Platform. A user could interface with a digital screen with a pen, physically mimicking the relationship of pen and paper.
In 1994, Ciright developed business process applications for the EO Personal Communicator in the GO Operating system. Partnered with AT&T Ciright positioned enterprise efficiency applications through the reduction of paper and the enhancement of communication as the EO tablet was also a phone capable of network communication of data as well as faxing technology integrated to OCR systems.
In 1995, the company was incorporated. That year, Ciright developed an application, While You Were Out, a pen based executive messaging software, that allowed an executive to receive his messages on a digital tablet device.
In 2000, Ciright developed a pen based solution provided for the Slate Vision hardware platform. Later, Ciright expanded to include professional services such as engineering firms, architects, and construction management. Finally in 2006 the system was migrated from a client–server environment into a total web based system.
In 2008, Ciright developed an application for the iPhone, available for the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 models. This app provides the user mobile access to their Ciright Platform data. In 2009, Ciright was awarded a multimillion-dollar contract from the Philadelphia Housing Authority to deploy a real time SCADA energy information monitoring and management system.
Ciright began development for an application on the iPad in 2010.
Ciright becomes part of the Portals.org team in 2024.
