APP1 an Online Recruitment Application was the first SuccessInc deployment. Maynard L. Dokken envisioned a new world of online applications and started the ASP industry in 1988.

Our first idea was insurance. We created a firestorm so looked for alternatives. Students were the most tech literate and needed jobs. Successinc "Applications"
It was a challenging time as WWW did not exist. We needed to build a server that could deliver an application through UUNET using UUCP. SuccessInc "Gateway"
The challenges only started when we realized systems did not share applications. We had to program a custom Usenet Reader & CPU System Bus called Minix App OS version 1.1. Successinc "APP1"
Online communities were called BBS. We provisionsed for APP1 Q&A. We used the ASP architecture with a Minix database for Shared Profile User Access & Data. It worked. SuccessInc "Community"
It was 1987 and the internet was exciting and new.
We were building an internet server for our new services. Tim Bernes-Lee only proposed WWW indexing in 1989.
We pushed the limits of a bulletin board to online ASP services. Online corporate recruitment service and ASP were started in 1988.
Online corporate recruitment services needed a backend infrastructure not yet available. ASP was the solution. We were building the solution before the term was ever used. Milinx was almost decade away in 1988.
We worked on the framework for a viable commercial online portal with broad accessibility from 1997-1999 which became part of Milinx.
We needed a secure site that could be accessed by consumers, AssuredCard and AssuredCredit domains were registered in 1998 for launch of an online payment gateway.
During our years exploring the potential of online corporate recruitment we pushed ASP to the forefront. A backend solution accessible by all. ASP became Milinx.
