As Bruce, himself shares his story with us, we are certain that he will instill motivation in every individual who carries a dream of passion.

The Inception

Proper planning and execution played a significant role in the early days and continues to be a vital part of every business approach even today. InterWeave started life with a very large Enterprise Customer. They had built the Integration Engine for that marketplace and had achieved a very prestigious first customer, ACS of Dallas. Along with this successful association they also achieved direct competition with companies like Tibco, Above All, See Beyond and others that were established, well-funded and successful. However, things started taking a new shape in the growth of InterWeave when they met   Salesforce in 2003 and were introduced to a new technology delivery platform, SaaS. Their focus was sharpened and InterWeave knew that they had a new path to pursue. They hosted at Rackspace Managed Hosting and it them took three years to build the InterWeave SaaS Edition. Their hard work saw successful results with their acceptance as an Integration Partner with Salesforce in 2006.

Inside InterWeave

InterWeave is a leading provider of Intelligent Cloud Integration for SaaS Companies. They focus on three integration tenants; Financial Services Solutions, Payment Processors and Multi-Cloud integrations in a simple, configurable way. SaaS, SMB and Enterprise Customers manage their customer interactions with system specific business processes and workflow to provide an extraordinary customer experience.

In the succeeding years after joining Salesforce, InterWeave ported their solutions to other CRM’s like SugarCRM,  bpmOnline, OROCRM, Oracle Sales Cloud, SuiteCRM, etc. They have now taken this further with the relaunch and rebrand of InterWeave as the SmartIntegration Platform which provides intelligent Cloud Integration for SaaS Companies that supports their growth strategy.

Although the technology foundation of the company was solid, they needed a change in the business model, which is now in place. A SaaS company distinguishes itself by having leading edge Solutions, supported by incredible Customer Service. Given those two building blocks, InterWeave added the third: provide Solutions that allow the Customer to define their workflow and business process dynamically in a configurable way. These distinctive factors distinguish InterWeave from the lot.

The Master of the Plan

His father was the Lieutenant Colonel of the Rhode Island National Guard and a pilot, hence it seemed quite logical for Bruce too, to take up the same career path. However, life had different plans for him. When his father passed, Bruce had to face life head on at the tender age of eleven along with his brother. They might have been alone, but they were determined to make the right choices relying on their own abilities. “We didn’t know what we couldn’t do, so we just went ahead and did it.” Bruce recollects. As kids they were active in boating, fishing, water skiing, skiing, band, orchestra – on and on; needless to say, the young duo had no limitations. Bruce remembers himself in college as a young boy without focus. Nevertheless, life took a turn when Bruce got his first job at General Dynamics and technology unveiled. When Bruce was introduced to technology, he was hooked. He worked at General Dynamics for two years after which he went to Roger Williams University for a BS in Computer Science. Bruce had found his passion; Technology.

In 2000, he served as the Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, head of the Audit Committee, Investor and Board member of the Uncommon Media Group, LLC. Additionally, Bruce also served as President and Chief Operations Officer of Knoa Corp., a privately held company focusing on interactive and media rich solutions.

Prior to this, Bruce was an AVP of Lehman Brothers, and served as the Chief Executive Officer of Information Engineering, Inc., an e-business solution provider.

As CEO, President, Board Member and Investor in Integration Technologies, Inc., and the creator of InterWeave Smart Solutions, Bruce delivers customer focused Solutions in response to customers’ needs in the digital age. “Achieving customer satisfaction is one of the greatest feelings one can have. We still have our first customer that we signed in 2006.” Says Bruce, CEO of InterWeave. “For me, the balance between professional and personal life is always a challenge. Family is what keeps it all together. You can go outside of yourself and focus on others.”, he adds. Today, Bruce can proudly say that he has achieved all that he desired.
