TTI'S INITIAL CONCEPT
began over 18 years ago with the realization
there was a lack of computerization for any form of trade or barter.
The idea was born out of the void created running a growing Trade
Exchange in the Rocky Mountain Region of the U.S. TTI was evolved out
of the programming done for client accounting and trade matches that
always seemed to be lost on the desks of Trade Directors at UBEC,
Inc. headquartered in Denver, CO. Trade Directors were responsible to
match the wants with the availabilities of products and services of
the members of the Exchange.
As membership grew to nearly 1000, so
did the monumental task of keep track of products and services and
wants, especially the unmatched ones. If a trade was not put together
within the first 24 hours, even though they said they would place the
request on a list, inevitably the request would be lost.
The turn
over of Trade Directors within an Exchange also created a major
obstacle. There were no existing programs that could fill this
tracking need. Gary Lasater developed the concept and Bill Moffett
designed and programmed the initial accounting system in 1981 on an
IBM 34 platform. The system was enhanced adding the trade management
system and moved over to the PC environment in 1984. The Master Trade
System was developed and enhanced during the next five years that the
Lasater family owned and operated the Trade Exchange. Due in part to
the father retiring, and Gary's research that showed Trade Exchange
operators had an underlying misgiving about dealing with the
"competition" in any form of networking, the Trade Exchange was sold
to a national group in 1989. This allowed Gary and Bill an
opportunity to further develop TTI and the INTERACT / X2X program.
IRIS and CompuTrader have been a recent addition to this totally
integrated approach.
Bartering is on the grow and needs a relational database to bring it back to the forefront of the economy as a parallel to currency exchange. This will help assist with a more free form of trade and help those to barter in good times and survive in the bad times.
TTI has put together the first and only holistic approach to a totally
integrated
network for the Trade and Barter industry. This approach will make a Broker
more efficient, technological tuned to becoming part of the global community.
