EXTOL International Inc. is the largest technology company in the city of Pottsville, Pennsylvania, which employs over 90 technology professionals in electronic data interchange (EDI) and business-to-business (B2B) data integration. It has also been named one of the top private companies in Lehigh Valley, and one of the top 500 technology companies in the United States.
EXTOL was founded in 1989 by Joe Baran and Tony Baran, who at the time, recognized the need for companies across the supply chain to comply with EDI mandates. They created EDI integration software running on the IBM AS/400 platform (IBM System i), which today remains one of the IBM-based EDI integration products that are actively developed and supported. In 2006, EXTOL released the next generation EDI integration software, EXTOL Business Integrator (EBI), which allows companies to exchange EDI through multiple platforms, including Linux and Windows. EBI extends enterprise data integration capabilities beyond traditional EDI to include other tip data files such as XML, spreadsheets, flat files, and application-to-application (A2A) data.
In early 2012, EXTOL has developed their customer base by 750 companies and has realized record-breaking sales revenue. The ongoing need for EDI and B2B integration solutions across the supply chain helps EXTOL develop significant software releases, and by the end of 2015, has increased its market share by 26.9%.
In 2016, EXTOL was acquired by Illinois-based Cleo, a software company company that provides electronic data exchange, and application-to-application, business-to-business services and large data integration services to organizations with the need for file transfers. managed. The Pottsville, PA office will operate under the name Cleo.
