A History of Supporting Members
In 1971 RDA Systems was a consulting company with a vision of helping local schools and governments manage their financial information. Back then, the only affordable system for managing financial information was pencil and paper.
In the late 1980s there was still no cost justifiable software to meet the unique needs of fund accounting so RDA decided to develop one. While things have changed a lot in 20 years, today OpenRDA’s focus remains exactly the same – to provide the best financial management solution for governments and schools with world class personal service. Two decades of listening to our 140+ Members has resulted in a more powerful, more integrated, more user-friendly generation of fund accounting software – OpenXpert. It is truly the state-of-the-art. Software that meets your needs and people who care: That’s what OpenRDA is all about. |

Business Through the Eyes of Faith OpenRDA is a company grounded upon Christian beliefs, principles, and practices. In this framework our executives have found a home in being members of the C12 Group, LLC. The C12 Group, LLC is the leading provider of round-table services to Christian CEO's and business owners. It began as three groups of 12 Christian business CEO's/Owners meeting once per month in central Florida with its primary focus in the Tampa Bay metro area. In the years which followed, favorably impressed C12 friends and alumni helped to extend C12’s reach via ‘word of mouth’, sharing of the discernable positive impact which so often accompanied C12 membership. As other members bought or sold businesses, or relocated to other areas of the country, other business leaders began to inquire about C12. In 1998, Buck trained and commissioned the first ‘second generation’ C12 Area Chair in Florida and began to purposefully look for ways to extend the work to other regions. The motivation for this new chapter was not financial, but rather due to an abiding sense of the Lord’s calling and the ministry potential related to equipping His followers to excellence in ‘business as ministry’. |
