History of AXWare Systems

2007 Release of the 6.20.x platform that utilizes an updated GUI platform and other tools. This GUI update will provide enhanced functionality with respect to skins (color formats).

2006 Release of 5.30.x continues the path towards WEB components.
Started development of AXWare Online Registration Systems.
Mid year introduced the RaceAmerica T-LINK Wireless system extending the capabilities of timing to a new level.
2005 Release of 5.20.x marks the future direction of the product.  Direction towards WEB components...
2004 Online Store was opened providing access to all products sold by AXWare Systems, including reselling of RaceAmerica Displays and related components.
2004 Product diversification continues, providing various price levels and feature sets that made it more appealing to a wider audience.
2003 Introduction of an Online Forum that will hopefully provide a central point of communication for AXWare Systems related information as well as a source of Timing and Scoring information.
2003 Late in the year, AXWare Systems was given a major injection of effort and time.  The Company is now a full time occupation, and as such higher level of goals have been set.  A more diversified portfolio of packages was introduced, including providing timing and scoring to other than Autocrossing style of events. This also included, the introduction of the Basic version of the product (a stripped version) that provides basic timing and Scoring needs but is somewhat cheaper than the more feature rich Pro versions.
2002 The introduction of Bar Code support and Networking capabilities were introduced.  Bar Code support offered an easy solution to staging and entering cars into the computer - just scan and that car is staged, ready to it's run.  The timers do the rest.  Network support was introduced to allow additional PC's to control Registration as well a provide an Announcer station for ease of data shuffling and independent read-only style of control.
Ongoing Continued efforts to expand the horizons of the product, improving, adding, and maturing the features and capabilities throughout this time. 
2000 By the 1st quarter the first Windows interfaces became available and opened the doors to the many new features and capabilities that were impossible in the prior DOS version of the product.  These include a much more user friendly GUI interface, excel like layout for data control, easy to use and control,  flexible, better and more dynamic print control, fully featured customizations, richer WEB based capabilities and integration, and better integration with other data representations, and much more.
2000 realizing that the DOS version was reaching it's peek, I began the first transformations into a Windows version of the product. At the end of 2000 the first Windows interface was started and considerations for an external timer were under way. Prior to this the relationship between RaceAmerica  and AXWare Systems. The relationship grew stronger and an OEM agreement was reached in December of 2000, that now allows AXWare Systems to provide a dedicated external timer for my timing systems.  With the new timer in place and the sights on a superior software package taking hold, the introduction of the AXWare interface and package were born.
1996 The first inklings of a product, in which it was make into a product and sold to other autocrossing clubs. For several years the work on a DOS base timing and scoring product continued and provide many clubs with a more integrated feature rich Timing and Scoring solution.
1994 I began writing the first lines of code and haven't stopped since.  The requirements grew quickly, with more and more features being requested until it reached a form that became it's own product and within a short time replaced the original system.
1993 AXWare Systems initial conception came when my local club, Spokes of Austin (TSSCC), attempted to personalize and maintain the results as an add-on piece to a timing package we purchased in 1993.

Special Thanks to Texas Spokes Sports Car Club (Spokes-TSSCC):  They have used AXWare Systems products in all their forms, during it's many iterations and development cycles.  It was very fortunate to have the backing of the club members in this venture and has proven to be both fun, challenging and extremely fulfilling to see the fruits and rewards of all the hard work.
