Our team of technical professionals also includes over 50 years of experience in web services, application design, software development, and user interface engineering.
Our History
Our history is an important part of who we are. In 2001, a small team of people at Virginia Commonwealth University started putting together a way to manage assessment data to support regional accreditation requirements. After Virginia Commonwealth University was successful in its reaffirmation of accreditation, team members presented the approach at a number of state, regional, and national conferences. Several of those attending the presentations expressed interest in using WEAVEonline.
The small team worked with the VCU Tech Transfer office to see what would be possible. With the urging of a faculty member whose senior class took on investigating the market, VCU began licensing the software. A higher education source now offered a higher education solution for assessment management.
After three years, when WEAVEonline became too large to remain inside the university, James Farrelly entered the picture and formed Centrieva Corporation in May 2006 to exclusively market, license, and further develop WEAVEonline. As the familiar line goes, the rest is history.
