About Quantum Voyage: From the Beginning
So, who are we and what is QV about? Quantum Voyage is the brain child of Rich Lewine and Steve Dodd. Rich is an organization development consultant, 30 years worth; and Steve is a chemical engineer, cum programmer. They met when Steve and his family business were clients of Rich's in the late '80s and early '90s.
Fast forward to 2000 when Steve needed a project for his VB class in Chicago. Rich had designed a Novell® network based organizational goals and performance management system. Steve asked Rich if he could use it as the foundation for his project. Rich's response was, “sure, as long as it doesn't cost me any money!” He had already lost most everything in an investor-led debacle of a coup.
Skipping the details, by 2004 they had created GoalTrak™ Personal Version, a PC based personal goal setting and tracking program. Steve had done a marvelous job of programming and those clients that Rich introduced it to really liked it. Things continued to just mosey along until mid 2006. About this time, the ASP/SaaS model was enjoying some positive exposure, thanks mainly to Salesforce.com®. Being the closet techie that he is, Rich said, "Steve, it's time for the web." Voila! GoalTrak™EV was born.
Many builds later, and after much field testing, anguish, cursing, and user input, version 1.x.x was released in February 2007. Stay tuned!
