History
Advanced Processing & Imaging is a privately held software development company that was founded in January 1996 by Leonard Ferro, Juan Rodriguez, Lonnie Sanders and Bob Sarneli. However, the impetus for founding the company dates back to 1995 when Juan Rodriguez and Lonnie Sanders were hired by Carnival Air Lines to find a document management solution that would meet their mid-size business needs. After conducting an exhaustive search the pair came to the conclusion that such a solution did not exist, but they were confident they could build it.
After a year of development and rigorous testing, the document management solution was presented to Carnival Air Lines. The company deemed the solution to not only meet, but exceed their needs. Soon after selling the solution to LensCrafters, NuTone and National Sanitary, Mr. Rodriguez and Mr. Sanders decided it was time to form a company, which they named Advanced Processing & Imaging.
