About Us
Our Mission
To enhance our clients' ability to identify opportunities, achieve goals and measure results through providing information system services that enable assembling, accessing, compiling, maintaining and/or presenting critical data.
“Humans only use 10 percent of the brain and 7 percent of company databases, yet we're always 100 percent sure of everything. That just doesn't add up.”

Heritage
We have been in the business of implementing information systems for clients since 1985. The company, then known as Intelligent Information Technologies (IIT), quickly established a market presence in the growing facilities mapping and management niche as a project consultant and systems integrator. The excellence of solutions introduced by IIT broadened our markets to an international presence within the first five years of operations. Today, still under the technical leadership of a principal founder, Vitalytics offers more diversification in markets served and focuses on the specific requirements for information reporting.
Database performance has advanced dramatically since 1985. The RDBMS today can handle amazing quantities of data transactions with fully reliable precision. Yet, the ease of converting raw data from the relational database into meaningful information has not advanced nearly as rapidly. New data structures specifically for reporting information have been introduced over the years, but the implementation and usage of these systems has lagged with the advancements in online transaction handling. Providing the best solutions in data structures and the most advanced processing methods to speed and ease the viewing of vital information is the backbone of the Vitalytics business model.
Leadership
The two founders of Vitalytics are experienced professionals with strong technical backgrounds and a rich breadth of experience in diversified markets. Each has more than twenty five years of business and technical experience. They've both held a variety of senior management-level positions within substantial organizations and are experienced in a wide variety of operations.
Hugh Chambers
President
Hugh is actively involved in the delivery of services and technical support. He often provides the project management, oversees the contract administration, and actively guides use-case development, specifications and coordination of general requirements. Hugh holds a BS in Engineering from the U.S. Naval Academy and prior to becoming involved in computer systems was a manager and senior executive in construction, project management, and also a business analyst and consultant. Hugh managed multiple profit-center locations for a Fortune 50 corporation and he has a depth of experience in operations planning, financial forecasts and budgeting, markets analysis and business modeling. In the 1980's when distributed information technology rapidly evolved within large and smaller organizations, Hugh managed the development of the IT department and computer design services of a large engineering firm. He quickly learned to design relational database schemas, in the early 90's, learned to program in Visual Basic for Applications. As a result, Hugh has developed a significant number of multi-user database applications including functionality for contact management, scheduling, controlling maintenance requirements, logistics and production scheduling, mapping, nonprofit fundraising, and telemarketing. He has led training classes for clients and also provided consulting and one-on-one guidance in topics such as relational database deployment, data mart schema planning, data extraction and migration planning, Structured Query Language, Crystal Reports design and similar matters.
