A dedicated team of professionals with expertise in computer telephony integration, wireless data, software development tools and enterprise information systems keeps AVIDWireless on the cutting edge of technology. AVIDWireless was formed from its parent company, VoiceDataWare in December 1998, to meet the challenge of utilizing the convergence of wireless, computers and telephony. With the release of AVIDRapidTools, AVIDWireless has achieved that goal and has blazed a trail for others to follow.

AVIDWireless also offers services ranging from the basics of helping enterprises determine the best way to leverage the wireless vehicle, to melding different aspects of technology to custom fit the most complex system.

Rodney C. Montrose, President

Rod Montrose has held a variety of executive, technical, project management, sales and marketing positions in small, medium and large corporations.   In 1998, he founded VoiceDataWare Inc as a company to develop and sell advanced telecommunication based products and services. In 1999 introduced the AVIDWireless division focusing on wireless data applications.

Previously, he was Director of Product Development at IntellAgent Control Corporation, producing a Lotus Notes based Customer Relationship Management software package. Prior to that, he was with Project Technology, a company providing object-oriented methods, tools and consulting services to real-time software developers in telecommunications, medical, and instruments products.  Rod was integral in growing the company from 9 to over 50 employees (1991 to 1995), development of the Shlaer-Mellor Method, teaching and consulting with the Method, developing marketing programs, selling key customer accounts (Motorola, Tellabs, Lockheed, Ericsson), opening their Dallas office and managing their consulting and sales force.

Before joining Project Technology, he served for five years as Manager of Systems Engineering for North America at Cadre Technologies, a real-time software tool vendor. Earlier in his career, Rod was employed with Motorola Inc. in their Toronto, Canada and Fort Worth, Texas plants with both management and technical responsibilities.

Rod started his involvement with wireless communications at an early age (he was one of Canada’s first amateur radio operators under 16 years of age).  At Motorola, he continued his passion and was involved in early data communications projects, which he says, were not too different from what is available today except the devices were hundreds of times larger in size, weight and cost.

Rod believes the growth of WAP/i-mode phones will come from corporate information systems, not consumer or commerce applications.  These applications will employ data, voice and video to effectively communicate needed information as best suited to each mode.
