CONSULTING

CTI provides a wide range of consulting services including General Business Sales & Marketing, Computer Software Programming with product implementation, and Product Distribution consulting.

More recently (years 2010-2018), CTI provided information to accredited investors looking to recover some or all of their their income taxes paid the to government through the use of tax advantaged investments (e.g., Oil & Gas Partnerships).

CONSUL TEC, INC. (CTI), was formed as Consulting Technologies by John L. Eilertsen (Executive Portfolio).

Prior to beginning his company, Mr. Eilertsen was employed with the Ford Motor Company where he received his engineering and management experience in several key areas of the company such as: Product Engineering Office; Computer Engineering; Marketing Operations; Product Development; Car Product Planning; Customer Service Division; and the Diversified Products Operation.

Consulting Technologies was incorporated under the name of CONSUL TEC, INC. After approximately three years, the company entered the marketplace as a distributor of computer oriented software and related hardware products in the area of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). During this time-frame CTI began to manufacture its own software for sale and distribution, a determination was made to do business under the name "CTI Communications" a division of Consul Tec,

Inc.

The company provides a very wide variety of general business consulting.

The service can be an in-depth multi year marketing analysis for a company the size of General Motors or a simple market research questionnaire for a new company just entering business.

While programming has been generally restricted to data communications oriented programming, CTI has provided a wide range of special programming to several companies including Electronic Data Systems (EDS), Fiat-Chrysler, Corporation, IDP Systems, INGERSOLL, GE (CXS) and others.

Our programmers can handle most program languages such as Java, HTTP, C, C++, Assembler, and Prolog, to name a few.

CTI's systems analysis experience helped establish the Automotive industry's first computerized parts release system; the industries first "Computer Engineered Ride" program; and a Critical Path/PERT program timing system.

CTI became a master software distributor for micro-to-mainframe data communications products (essentially IBM’s protocols and LAN Gateways).

Since 1990, the company has supplied its own software and related hardware products to several corporations, governmental agencies, banks, hotel chains, insurance companies, as well as most of the software houses who provide Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) including Automotive Release Accounting and Advance Ship Notice capabilities between the OEM's and their supplier base.

In this distribution activity, CTI developed dozens of Value Added Resellers and Dealers and thus can provide appropriate consulting in this particular area of business.

Along this same line, CTI introduced it’s own high-speed version of IBM’s BSC protocol software which was oriented to high-speed line and page printers.

The package was tested, approved and purchased by Northern Telecom and others for use with Data Products line printers. When a 3rd generation package, called FastSync®, was introduced it became an immediate "hit" with several software houses specializing in different market niches such as electronic filing of income tax returns to the IRS, and certain banking oriented software houses.
