Our History

Hilosoft was created in 1981 in Santa Ana, CA as a division of Convergence Corporation, a leader of video editing and special effects for the Television and Motion Picture Industry. Hilosoft, then known as Axon Communications, pioneered computer controlled telephone messaging products for the Telephone Answering Industry. In 1986 Convergence and the holding company, Acquis, was acquired by EECO Incorporated leaving Axon (Hilosoft) on its own. Axon continued to flourish in the industry, then in early 2003 the messaging product lines and other assets were sold to Telescan Corporation of St. Louis, Mo. Hilosoft is now committed to the development and sales of software tools for idea development and for predictive cash analysis for individuals and small business.

Hilosoft provides software specifically designed to assist in the composition of Ideas and to provide financial analysis for product and services pricing. The name of the programs are  Idea Composer®, HOPP (Hands on Profit Planner) and Maestro. The Maestro is currently in development and scheduled for release in the third quarter of 2009..

Idea Composer® is a software program for inventors or anyone with product or service ideas that want an easy way to capture the idea, get it reduced to written form, and to determine the feasibility using predictive cash analysis tools. Basic precautions are built into the program to safeguard any potential intellectual property. The Idea Composer® is easy to use and requires no previous experience in finance or business. The Idea Composer® teaches the user in a step by step fashion about business finance, intellectual property, and the communication of ideas to others. The software program is great for the person contemplating a business start-up based on a product concept.

The HOPP (Hands on Profit Planner) is a software program specifically designed for professionals in the health care industry, although, the program works for any contract or service personnel that charge a session or hourly rate for their services. HOPP recognizes that most health care professionals are either self-employed with their own private practice, or at the very least, able to exercise a good deal of control in establishing the price of their own session work. HOPP systematically leads the professional through the murky waters of financial guessing and wishing and provides crystal clear and undeniable analysis of where their session pricing should be based on simple proven methodology. HOPP is a good first step program for anyone contemplating a start-up service business.

The Maestro program allows management of existing companies to organize and evaluate ideas for new products or services and to allow participation from within the company. Care for the proper use of Intellectual Property is built into the program. The very people who know the most about the technology and markets can now participate in the forward movement of the company through better communication of product and service ideas. Management is able to quantify the value of each idea and to provide incentives to the contributors.  Protection for the intellectual property is built into the system.
