  History

Dexter Systems was founded in 1987 by engineers with extensive experience in industrial automation and software development. Our first product was a patented information kiosk for the grocery industry.

In 1988, the company branched out into the telecom industry by taking on a development project for a fiber optic research lab.

Dexter System took on its first telephone company mechanization project in 1989. This project automated a multi-step manual process for processing service order disconnects, and paid for itself within three months.

Since then, one project has led to another, each building on the success of the previous work. To date we have delivered hundreds of custom applications for the telecom industry. Our applications now serve four of the largest six telecommunications firms, not including many smaller CLECS and resellers.

Starting with a small group of software engineers Dexter has grown by hiring people with diverse backgrounds: industry specialists, programmers, engineering and math PhD's, and database specialists. We look for people who are not only smart, but also have the interpersonal skills to work in a cohesive team environment.

Our approach has won industry awards, led to another patent pending, and recognition in the telecom industry as a solution company that is creative, reliable, and easy to do business with.
