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. RADFusion is an international company with clients and partners across the globe.
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 Recievable accounting. Russ used to be with RealWorld, an accounting software vendor (you may know it today as Microsoft Accounting). 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 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 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-written 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 occaisional 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.
