Filophile was founded by James Cullingham and Al Bauernfreund in 2007.
Prior to that, James and Al had spent several years developing a document management
intranet package called Singleview. Singleview was designed primarily for accountancy
practices, and helped champion the wider use of IT in areas outside the core business
function in that traditionally conservative market.
Singleview was eventually in use in well over one hundred firms in UK and Australia,
where it was instrumental in revolutionising procedures, dramatically reducing use
of paper, and helping to standardise correspondence formats, as well as ending forever
the "who has the so-and-so file?" emails that used to plague offices everywhere.

James graduated with a degree in Mathematics from Cambridge University in 1990,
going on to qualify as a Chartered Accountant three years later. He spent eight
years with accountancy practices, auditing and working with a huge range of small
and medium-sized enterprises, and gaining a deep understanding of the part that
processes and information systems play in any business, however small.
Since then he has used that understanding, combined with a passion for computers
that reaches back to the early 1980s, to create both off-the-shelf and bespoke software
solutions that have helped many businesses become more productive and efficient.
James now lives in Derbyshire, where his garden and the surrounding countryside
offer a happy counterpoint to the world of IT.

Al has degrees in electrical engineering and business administration. After a stint
as an electronics design engineer he moved on to database application development,
and ran his own consulting company for some years before linking up with James.
The experience of specifying and developing applications for a wide range of organisations
in different business sectors, and at the same time managing his own consultancy,
gave Al an insight into the real-world needs of businesses. He now applies that
understanding to help provide practical and straightforward data management solutions.
Having lived in north London all his life Al blesses the Internet almost every day
for saving him from the misery of the London commute.
