About Us...


What's in a Name?
The name of the company comes from RAD, meaning "Rapid Application Development" and the word "fusion" meaning as many resources as needed to bring a project to its timely conclusion.



History
The company was founded in 2002 by Russell B. Eggen. Russ is a long time Clarion developer (since 1984) and has developed many applications with it. Some examples are Payroll and Accounts Receivable accounting. Russ used to be with RealWorld, an accounting software vendor. He was the testing manager and wrote a test tracking application in Clarion in order to better manage testing of new releases. It was done during a lunch hour.

Russ also worked with a start up company that consulted chiropractors in running their business and wrote a custom application in Clarion to track clients and their progress through their consulting programs. That company with about 8 grand in the bank grew to 4 million in revenues the first year. The Clarion application was pivotal in that expansion.

Russ later went to work for Topspeed Corporation as a Clarion consultant in the mid-90s. He instructed the clients in best practices in using Clarion and migrated to Topspeed's Education department where he revised and authored a fair share of the education materials. When not teaching Clarion, Russ worked in the documentation department and nearly re-wrote the User's Guide, smoothing out many chapters, updating screen shots, and some chapters completely re-wrote with better examples. Topspeed later split into two companies, one of which is Softvelocity, the current vendor of the Clarion language.

At Softvelocity, Russ continued the education for a few months, before leaving the company and forming RADFusion. Russ has since wrote the popular "Programming Objects in Clarion" book and still pens an occasional article for Clarion Magazine, the online trade journal for all things Clarion. Russ is a popular speaker at Clarion conferences discussing topics like COM, templates, OOP, and how to really understand and use the mysterious debugger.



Future Goals
RADfusion is a provider of mostly Clarion related jobs. We have many clients and looking for more. This in turn provides more jobs. Many Clarion developers apply, but only the best are selected and the cream of this group is retained for future projects. All our resources are expected to continue their education in Clarion. It is in this fashion do we deliver the best services to our clients.
