Standing on the shoulders of giants
In the early 1990s, Jim Thomas of Tdata and Reuben Zook of Avantext shared a simple idea: maintenance professionals deserved a better way to receive, research, and use critical regulatory information.
Back then, that meant shipping paper binders and microfiche across the country.
Thirty years later, those same principles—accuracy, accessibility, and usability—live on through TBX. By combining forces, we continue to build better software, faster, with a sharper focus on what maintainers actually need—all in one integrated platform.
