A decision was made to rewrite the source code, incorporating our highly successful DOS Office Visions features into the new Visions PHP software.
2009
A decision was for made to develop the PHP / MySQL software platform. This platform made installations possible on Windows, Linux, Macintosh and Internet Web Servers. Access can be made through any computer’s web browser with internet access. The website domains www.go2visions.com and www.visionsdistributionsoftware.com were purchased. A new company was later formed as Visions Distribution Software, LLC.

At our annual corporate meeting the question was posed is it time to move from our DOS distribution software “Office Visions” built in 1987 to a Windows product. After many consultation meetings with various sources and our current customer base, the decision was unanimous but we would take it slow as to not interrupt our core business.
