QUICK HISTORY
Since our beginning in 1983, we at Auriel have been doing what we love: creating great database products for our amazing clients. When we first began creating databases for governmental agencies and businesses, we used what was then an extremely powerful tool called DataEase. Our first database was a billing system for the Will County Health Department and as technology has evolved, so have we.
We now use the completely redesigned and retooled FileMaker program in order to create custom databases, and our clients love it! FileMaker allows us to create reliable, user-friendly and affordable database solutions that are multi-platform and completely customizable.
Another recent evolution in the technology landscape is the introduction of what is known as the Cloud. We at Auriel love the Cloud and the simplicity it offers when combined with the right products to deliver amazing services. We have been able to combine Cloud services along with customized database solutions in order to create a suite of services that allow our clients to be more productive with a greater peace of mind than ever before.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
We love music as much as we love technology, and we believe that the two are similar in how they must be created. Music is created through the harmony of three distinct components: the instrument, the music, and the musician. Similarly, computer systems are created through the harmony of hardware (the instrument), software (the music), and users (the musicians). While music is created for pleasure, achieving the same type of balance within a computer system allows for high levels of productivity.
WHY CHOOSE US
When it comes to choosing business information systems, the choices are overwhelming. There are many routes that you can take. For example, you can purchase packaged software programs or hire our competitors.
The problem with packages software solutions is that they treat all organizations as if they were the same. As you know, people come in all different shapes and sizes. Also, they have different needs and wants. The same philosophy applies to organizations. Yes, you can purchase packaged solutions off the shelves. However, what will you do when your organization evolves and you need to customize your system? Are you going to hire a programmer to do that for you? Are you going to look for a different packages software program that solves your new need? These are the things you should consider.
Of course, you can hire any one of our competitors. Is this going to be better than buying packaged software solutions? Are you going to get what you want? When problems come up, are they going to be responsive? Will you be able to reach them when your system blows up? What is it going to cost you when you need to customize things?
We have a better solution for you. Simply choose us in the first place. With us, you will never have to worry about outgrowing your current system. We know that your organization will evolve so our business is set up to deal with changes. We view change as good. When you change or evolve, we customize your current system to match your new needs. We have the programming skills to do it so that you don’t have to hire expensive programmers. We will take care of everything. We install your system. We maintain the technology. We train you or your employees on how to use the system. We pick up the phone or travel to your location when you experience problems.
While we do all that for you, we do not rip you off either. Our prices are more affordable than our competitors. You might wonder how we can do that.
Well, this is because our overhead is low. We are headquartered in South Bend, Indiana. This means that our rent is low. Because of our proximity to the University of Notre Dame, we have access to great talent. The great thing is that we can get that talent for much less than in other areas such as Chicago, San Francisco, or New York. Also, we barely spend any money on marketing – most of our business is word-of-mouth. Consequently, our prices are affordable as we transfer most of these costs savings to you.
