About Us...


Overview
Queues Enforth Development, Inc. and its predecessors, has been providing products and services to public safety agencies since 1974. Although originally a consulting company, a need for reasonably priced software products in the public safety market was quickly recognized and in 1984, the first Computer-Aided Dispatch software was introduced. Q.E.D., Inc. has focused continual enhancement and tailoring to meet the unique needs of each customer ever since.



History
Queues Enforth Development, Inc. (Q.E.D.) was established in 1990 as a result of the merger of two preexisting companies-Enforth Corporation and Queues Limited. Enforth has been a preeminent public sector operations research, software, and consulting firm whose clients included the City of New York, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the U.S. Postal Service. Queues was a software start-up, targeting Fortune 1000 companies such as Citibank and American Airlines, with sophisticated queue management and analysis systems. It should be noted that Enforth was formed in 1981 by the same key principals who had formed Public Systems Evaluation, Inc. in 1974. Thus, Q.E.D.'s corporate background and experience are based on those of its three predecessor companies-Public Systems Evaluation. Inc., Enforth Corporation, and Queues, Ltd. Public Systems Evaluation, it should be noted, was founded expressly for the purpose of evaluating innovative ideas and programs implemented in the public sector.

Q.E.D. was able to spin off one of its divisions that focused on consulting to private business and the Department of Justice in 2000, allowing Q.E.D. to focus exclusively on the primary business of providing the technically sophisticated, reliable software that Q.E.D.'s customers demand.



Corporate Innovation
Q.E.D. views the process of system innovation as not only requiring quantitative analysis and system design but also an understanding of the institutional settings in which the systems or programs are embedded. In this view, Q.E.D. staff have participated in the design, implementation, and evaluation of various programs-particularly those dealing with criminal justice services. Indeed, the strength of Q.E.D. is in its people.

At present, the professional staff is comprised of experienced and talented individuals with advanced degrees in engineering, computer science, communications, systems analysis, planning, technical writing, marketing and management. This varied background reflects Q.E.D.'s emphasis on an interdisciplinary approach to project performance. In addition to the professional staff, consultants with specialized skills are retained and routinely employed as needed.
