Intellitec Solutions, a Newark, Delaware-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) advisor and reseller, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this week. The milestone is not about looking back, but about recognizing how far the company's expertise has come alongside the technology it supports, according to the firm.
The company's origins are not typical of a software reseller. In 1986, the team was part of an accounting firm, and clients repeatedly raised a common issue: their accounting software was not functioning as needed, and they could not find help to fix it. The firm's team, leveraging their CPA backgrounds, stepped in to solve these problems and quickly gained a reputation for effectiveness. This expertise soon evolved into a standalone business, with a mission not to sell software but to help clients use the technology they already had more intelligently.
“That's the part of our story I'm proudest of,” said Rick Sommer, President of Intellitec Solutions and a founding team member. “We didn't start out trying to sell anyone anything. We started out solving a problem our clients actually had. Twenty-five years later, that's still the whole job. Helping organizations use technology intelligently, not just use more of it. Everything else we've built follows from that.”
Over the years, the technology landscape has transformed dramatically—from on-premise servers to cloud-native platforms, and from manual data entry to automated, real-time reporting. Yet, the core team has remained remarkably stable. Fourteen of Intellitec's employees have been with the company since its earliest days, and their expertise has grown with every industry shift. This longevity has become a competitive advantage, providing over two decades of pattern recognition that benefits clients on any current platform.
This stability has fueled growth. The original fourteen-person team has expanded to 42 professionals, and Intellitec is now recognized as a leading partner for Sage and Microsoft Dynamics. The company's success is also attributed to collaborations with technology partners like PointClickCare and Solver, whose platforms Intellitec has helped clients implement.
“The tools we use today look nothing like the ones we started on, and honestly, that's the fun part of the job. There's always something new to learn,” said Tom Rogers, Senior ERP Advisor and one of the first fourteen employees. “But the instinct for what a client actually needs hasn't changed since day one. If anything, having seen so many platforms and so many trends come and go makes it easier to tell clients what's actually going to matter for their business, and what's just noise.”
Intellitec plans to commemorate the anniversary throughout the year with content highlighting its team, clients, and lessons learned from a quarter century of ERP implementations and support. The company's philosophy remains unchanged: technology is only as good as the guidance behind it. This milestone underscores the importance of long-term expertise in an industry defined by rapid change, offering a model for how specialized consulting can evolve while maintaining its core mission.
