variety
of consulting positions in system design and development.
In 1993, Phil took a position with PCA International, the
largest operator of portrait studios
in the country with studios in more than 2000 Wal-Mart stores
across North America. There he served as the lead analyst
and developer for the Wal-Mart studio's Point-of-Sale system
and automated data collection systems. Also, in 1993, Phil
was provided with the opportunity to develop a custom software
product for a startup background investigation company in
Charlotte, N.C. This product turned out to be so advantageous
for this client that they began telling their associates about
it, and thus The Flexible Research System (FRS) was born.
Between 1996 and 1999, Phil spent much of his spare time enhancing
the FRS system and acquiring new clients until May of 1999
when the time was right with 15 national firms using FRS to
take Imagination Technologies into a full-time endeavor. Imagination
Technologies has grown into a company which is now providing
background screening client and web solutions to more than
140 companies in the background screening industry.
