Building on the success of SchoolDude’s proven Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform in the education market, Tom and the rest of the founding management team (Brian Bell, Kent Hudson, and Carsie Denning) launched FacilityDude in 2007. The goal of FacilityDude was to deliver industry-leading, on-demand software for facility, business, and maintenance operations in non-education markets.
With the commercial success of SchoolDude.com in the education market, Brian and the founding management team launched a sister company in 2006 called FacilityDude.
