James Enterprises of NY Inc. started out as James Enterprises, a consulting business in the early 1980's. At that time, most of their consulting was with professionals, doctors and lawyers, on home and business computer hardware and software. Computer hardware and software was less familiar to most people back then, so they did well setting up hardware and software applications for their clients. The rest of their business was teaching professionals on how to use their computers and software.
As time went on, computer hardware and "canned" software became more common place. As their clients used their computers for more things, they began requiring software that more exactly met their needs. As a result, they began asking them for more custom applications and their business shifted from computer hardware and software consulting to custom software development. At first custom software development was very time consuming, which made it expensive. Still some of their clients recognized the advantage that custom software brought to them, and they found ourselves developing software for everything from real estate, to Chiropractic offices, and from boat maintenance to Retail Sales. As their library of programs increased, and the development tools got better, they found it easier to develop applications fast. That, along with more and more computers in business, allowed them to start marketing their custom software to more local businesses in the New York area.
During the late 80's they started getting requests to developed Point of Sale applications, on a custom one-by-one basis, making each copy slightly different to meet the needs of their clients, which by now were mostly small business owners. They noticed that small businesses that could benefit from Point of Sale systems were being left out due to the high cost and high complexity associated with P.O.S. systems. They decided to create a Point of Sale system that would be easy to use and inexpensive, while meeting the needs of the small business owner.
