Ilium Software's eWallet platform is driving growth for the Ann Arbor-based firm.
The technology stores and categorizes all of the various passwords for its user, enabling them to access their private information, financial instruments, and other important online functions. The software can be used from a desktop computer to a mobile device.
Sales of the
eWallet platform have risen smartly over the last year with the Windows 8 version (a full-screen app) leading the way. Ilium Software has in turn spend most of its time improving eWallet, releasing a new iOS version and upgrading its security features. It's also looking at accessing Apple’s fingerprint technology for mobile device and Apple Pay.
"It's our product that has gone back to the beginning of the company in 1997," says Ken Morse, managing partner of
Ilium Software.
Ilium Software has been making mobile apps before most people had even heard of the word, designing apps for PDAs and other forms of technology in the late 1990s. The firm's team of half a dozen employees (it hired someone about a year ago) and a handful of independent contractors are focused on making its software platforms like eWallet ready for the next big thing in software.
"We're in the process of seeing what we can do with this latest iOS version," Morse says.
