History
Citation Computers, Inc., was founded by Dougles L. Williams in 1974. Mr. Williams was one of the first Directors of Data Processing for the City of Houston under Mayor Louis Welch and in that position, Mr. Williams was instrumental in establishing a computerized method for maintaining the City's census statistics as well as the establishment of traffic control systems.
After leaving the City, Mr. Williams founded Citation Computers and offered one of the first accounting systems to run on a "mini" computer, which stood only as tall as an apartment-sized refrigerator, and yet performed many of the same functions as the large, room-sized mainframe computer systems of that time. Citation provided a total solution: hardware, software packages, customizations, and most importantly, training and data conversion.
1996 Citation Internet Consulting Group (CICG) was founded as a division of Citation Computers, Inc.
CICG specialized in Internet development and systems integration for financial institutions and manufacturers, including web site development, project management and intranet development.
Upon the death of Mr. Williams in 1997,Citation Computers, Inc. was headed by Mr. Williams' son, Lorin Williams and daughter, Leilani Doyle. Lorin Williams continued to head up CICG and Citation Consulting and Ms. Doyle became president of Citation Solutions, Inc.
"The new name reflected the company's focus on solutions for its clients across all platforms," stated Leilani Doyle. "Particularly exciting client deliveries have been solutions for corporate eCommerce initiatives and custom software development for financial institutions."
In November, 1999 Citation Solutions, Inc. moved to the current headquarters to accommodate the company's growth needs.
The client list has expanded to include government agencies and Fortune 1000 companies.
In November, 2000, Citation Solutions developed a new "My Where" wireless application for clients and launched numerous sites with content pages and database driven applications. The first Government site was launched that year: Fort Bend County at http://www.co.fort-bend.tx.us.
In January, 2002, Cities and Counties Across Texas began to adopt the new My Where products.
My Where products are a flexible suite of content specific, content management systems. These custom tools allowed for the quick posting of news and events, job postings, purchasing opportunities and email alerts.
Citation Solutions is now continuing the same philosophy under the new president, Margie Seaman, and the client list has continued to grow. Ms. Seaman is dedicated to the policies of service, integrity, and the building of business partnerships. Through the development of custom designed web sites, Citation's goal is to work with our customers to help them grow their business and realize organizational objectives for business development.
