30 Years of Data, Dedication, and…Time Saved

July 10, 2025 by Julie Elliott, President

Back when Inside Information was founded, there definitely wasn’t an app for that. Moving data from a mainframe to a PC meant custom code, serious patience, and a whole lot of trial and error.

From those early days of hardcoding to today’s computing power at your fingertips, the tech world has changed dramatically — and we’ve kept pace every step of the way.

So, with all these do-it-yourself tools out there, why do co-ops still choose to work with us?

It’s not about skills — our clients know their way around technology. It’s about time.

By handing off strategic communication and research projects to us, they get more time for things like…

• Strategic thinking
• Talking to an actual co-worker
• Leaving work on time
• Digging into member insights
• Finishing a cup of coffee while it’s still hot
• Planning ahead (imagine that!)

Whatever you do with your reclaimed time, we’re just glad to be part of your solution — and your story — for the last 30 years.

Featured Idea of the Month: Emergency Templates

Don't panic in times of emergency! Plan ahead to avoid the sweat! Consider building planned maintenance, severe weather, or energy emergency alert (EEA) email templates ahead of time.

We can even set you up with your own Vortex template for emergency after-hours or weekend communications. You'll gain the ability to create emails on the fly. It's as simple as swapping out the text—no additional design required.
