Robert F. Olson – Intranet Solutions (inrs)

ROBERT F. OLSON, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of IntraNet Solutions, Inc., brings over 20 years of industry experience to the company, including over 10 years' experience in the electronic publishing and document/content management industry. His vision for leading IntraNet Solutions to a market dominant position in the business content management market is supported by his strong entrepreneurial background combined with a keen knowledge of operations, sales and marketing. Mr. Olson is one of the industry's earliest promoters of electronic publishing applications in the US, and in the mid-1990s, Mr. Olson was quick to capitalize on the technology shift from electronic publishing to emerging Internet applications by founding IntraNet Solutions, Inc., a Web content management provider. He led the company in establishing a market presence for its first Web-based product offering, and in 1999 he spearheaded the launch of Xpedio Content Server, a new class of enterprise Web application software. Mr. Olson established Technical Publishing Solutions, Inc. (TPSI), in 1990, the predecessor to IntraNet Solutions, and grew the company to over $10 million in revenues within five years with customers such as 3M and Honeywell. Profile
