Our History

In the early 1980s, when most of us were still amazed by wrist-watch calculators, the pioneers of Expert Choice started harnessing the new ‘personal computer’ to model how government officials and business leaders actually make decisions. With a list of customers that is a veritable who’s who of government and industry, Expert Choice has found success in that pioneering spirit.

As the world of computing has leaped forward, so has Expert Choice. The initial software was powered by computers less powerful than today’s mobile phones. Today our cross-platform, Internet-based collaboration tools have helped thousands of customers gain deep insight into complex problems.

Today our prioritization platforms are available in a number of languages and taught at over 60 universities around the world. Annually, our software is used to allocate billions of dollars in investments, by government agencies, Fortune 500 companies, and small enterprises alike. In government, vendor source selections have long been known to be more efficient and less prone to expensive procurement protests when supported by the Expert Choice seal of approval.

For 25 years, our approach has been successful. The speed, power, and flexibility of our software has improved dramatically as has the speed and delivery of results to our clients -- be it delivering a cutting-edge health care market research program in less than 48 hours, or enabling decision-makers to chase the sun in a 24 hour data collection effort for a major microchip manufacturer. Our latest products now allow you real-time facilitated collaboration around the globe, combining our enterprise level Internet application and popular voting equipment.

The past, however, is only prologue to where rational decision making is headed. We are constantly experimenting with new ways to combine the power of the Internet with time-tested and reliable methodologies for gaining insight into your decisions. We look forward to another 25 years of innovation, market leadership – and above all the continued success of our customers.
