The people behind the software

Polymathic principals.

Every Polymathic package reflects the direct, hands-on experience of the people who built it.

Cal Parsons

CPA, CA — Founder

A former partner in a large public accounting firm, Cal has extensive experience consulting to small and medium-size businesses on management and financial information systems — a specialization that led to early involvement in designing and developing computer applications software for a wide range of clients.

In 1981, Cal left his public accounting partnership to found Polymathic, bringing to every software package that followed a unique blend of business consulting, chartered-accounting, and systems-development experience.

Russ Kondo

Systems Consultant

A computer science graduate of the University of Western Ontario, Russ has worked in data processing since 1981 — as an IBM mainframe operator and as an application programmer on both IBM mainframes and Datapoint minicomputers.

At National Trust, he helped design and implement a Canada-wide data collection network on Datapoint minicomputers and a mixed banking-and-trust terminal network on IBM mainframes. Russ leads the design and development of Polymathic's accounting systems.

Leslie Prior

Training & Support

A graduate in computer programming and systems analysis from DeVry Institute of Technology, Leslie has been training users and supporting business software since 1989.

Before joining Polymathic, she evaluated and revised word processing needs across a range of companies and delivered training, support, and documentation. Today, Leslie oversees ongoing support for our in-house systems and the third-party software our clients rely on.

Our philosophy

“Let us prove to you that we can do the job before you hire us.”

We believe buying a computer system should be like buying any other business product: you, the buyer, should know exactly what you're getting. Unlike larger vendors, our reputation rides on every system we install — we can't afford even one dissatisfied user, and we'd rather lose a sale than gain an unhappy customer.

That's why Polymathic demonstrates your proposed system on a machine like the one you'll actually use, so you know exactly what you're buying before you commit. Our support continues long after installation — for the life of the system. That's our commitment to you.

From order to onboarding

How Polymathic works.

From the day you place your order, we're fully committed to delivering a working system — whether it's a standard package or a custom program — complete with installation, training, and ongoing support. You won't need to hire specially trained personnel: our packages are built to be easy to learn, with plain-English screens for quick, accurate data entry.

During installation, we help your existing team set up and operate the system, and assist in designing and sourcing any forms and supplies you need. By day one, your system will be fully tested, demonstrated, and ready to work for you.
