The Early Years
Kelleher and Associates, the predecessor to KHA, was originally founded in 1985 by Terry Kelleher with basic emphasis on computer hardware and peripheral sales of new and used equipment. Mr. Kelleher has been involved in the development of a computerized training system that is used in major airlines, manufacturing companies, universities and government. This was the first application of computerized audio used for training purposes.
In 1989 Kelleher and Associates expanded into the marketing of Computerized Maintenance Management Systems.
In 1991, Dave Helmrich joined Kelleher and Associates, forming Kelleher, Helmrich and Associates. Dave Helmrich brought with him the knowledge and experience of software development, project management and business consulting. Mr. Helmrich designed software products for a variety of business applications. This includes software systems for a nationally known Computerized Maintenance Management System. His most recent projects were the development of an on line corporate requisitioning/purchasing system and a Safety Data Sheet retrieval system.
Online-SDS™ is Born
Kelleher, Helmrich and Associates developed Online-SDS™, a software package developed for safety departments’ management of their SDSs. This product is not industry specific and has been installed in chemical, manufacturing, health care, universities and municipalities. Software development has grown to include imaging, regulatory reporting, ingredient specific inventory, chemical tracking, automated distribution of outgoing SDSs and fax on demand. Kelleher, Helmrich and Associates also provides data entry and scanning services for many of their customers during the setup phase and an ongoing service for SDS management and fax on demand. The company has put together a marketing and sales organization specifically addressing this product.
Kelleher, Helmrich and Associates are currently increasing their market exposure through strategic business relationships with software developers and hardware manufacturers (i.e. IBM Business Partner).
Shift to Application Service Delivery
As the Internet grew in popularity during the late nineties KHA has continued to update the Online-SDS™ brand software. In 2004 KHA began offering a hosted solution to customers where instead of having to install the SDS management software on the servers of the customer the customer could instead access it over the World Wide Web.
SDS Solution of the Future
The combination of Terry Kelleher and David Helmrich with their long time business associates and independent contractors, provide a complete resource network to meet the needs of both government and industry.
