General Info

In June of 2004, due to expanding business growth, Affygility Solutions acquired office space in its current location in Lafayette, Colorado. In 2004, the early version of Affytrac was based on a Lotus Notes platform that required installation on the client's servers. Due to the inherent challenges of upgrading Affytrac installations on each client's servers, in September 2004, the decision was made to move Affytrac from a client server system to a system that was accessed via the web. In October of 2007, after several years of performing as a sub-contractor, Affygility Solutions hired Curt Beery as its first Chief Technology Officer. In July of 2007, the management team at Affygility Solutions recognized the potential growth and improvements in web-based training tools and conferencing. Affygility Solutions also saw that with a declining economy and the tightening of travel and training budgets that there was a real need to develop an convenient and affordable means to obtain EHS training specific to the life science industry. So after a month of development, in September 2007, Affygility Solutions delivered its first Advanced Topics in Potent Compound series of webinars. During this same period of time, many advances in terms of functionality and security occurred in web-based application development, so in November 2008, after a year of development, Affytrac based on a Ruby on Rails platform was deployed. This switch to a Rails platform positioned Affytrac for large-scale, enterprise-wide deployment and to this day remains the current platform.
