EXTOL International Inc. is the largest technology firm in the city of Pottsville, Pennsylvania, employing over 90 technology professionals in the field of electronic data interchange (EDI) and business-to-business (B2B) data integration. It has also been named one of the top private companies in the Lehigh Valley,[1] and one of the top 500 technology firms in the United States.[2]
EXTOL was incorporated in 1989 by Joe Baran and Tony Baran,[3] who at the time, recognized the need for companies throughout the supply chain to comply with EDI mandates.[4] They created EDI integration software that ran on the IBM AS/400 platform,[5] which today, remains one of the last IBM i-based EDI integration products actively being developed and supported.[6] In 2006, EXTOL publicly released the next generation of its EDI integration software, EXTOL Business Integrator (EBI), which allowed companies to exchange EDI through multiple platforms, including Linux[7] and Windows. EBI expanded enterprise data integration capabilities beyond traditional EDI to include other data file tips such as XML, spreadsheets, flat files, and application-to-application (A2A) data.
By the start of 2012, EXTOL had grown their customer base by 750 companies[8] and had realized record-breaking sales revenues.[9] The continued need for EDI and B2B integration solutions[buzzword] across the supply chain helped EXTOL develop significant software releases, and by the end of 2015, had increased market share by 26.9%.[10]
In 2016, EXTOL was acquired[11] by Illinois-based Cleo, an enterprise software company that provides electronic data interchange, and application-to-application, business-to-business, and big data integration services to organizations with managed file transfer needs. The Pottsville, PA office will operate under the Cleo name.
