Vonoi: Let’s start with the basics. Can you introduce yourself and tell us about your company?

Joe: My name is Joe Raffinelli, and I’m with Innovatix. We’re a customized software development company that’s been around for about 30 years. We have development centers in Pakistan, Trivandrum, India, and Bedminster, New Jersey.

We specialize in things like migration services, helping companies move from older technologies like VFP, ASP, or VB6 to modern platforms such as C# and .NET. We’ve built tools and now agentic AI capabilities to make that process more efficient. On top of that, we bring years of experience. This is something we’ve been doing for over two decades.

Vonoi: You’re here at one of the biggest AI conferences. Everyone is talking about AI what makes Innovatix different?

Joe: That’s a great question. We recently launched a new product called Open Parcel. It allows organizations to take their internal documents and query them using AI. What makes it different is how it handles scale and structure. It’s not just one document. It’s many documents organized into compartments. You can group them by department like HR, finance, or compliance, and assign access to specific teams. Each group can securely query only their own documents. Everything stays inside the organization. Nothing is exposed externally. It becomes a single source of truth and essentially acts like a subject matter expert for that company.

Vonoi: So it’s really about efficiency?

Joe: Exactly. Efficiency is the perfect word. We’ve spoken to people in compliance, law, and healthcare. These industries deal with massive amounts of documentation. Traditionally, it can take days to find one piece of information. With this, you upload your documents and query them instantly. That changes everything.

Vonoi: It sounds like your company is very solution driven.

Joe: That’s exactly how we operate. We listen to our clients first. They tell us their pain points, and we build solutions around that. We go through a series of conversations and smaller development cycles. We show progress, get feedback, and adjust. Every company works differently, so everything we build is customized. Communication is a big part of that process.

Vonoi: You’re strictly B2B, correct?
Joe: Yes, we focus entirely on B2B.

Vonoi: AI is evolving fast, How do you keep up, and how do you make sure your clients don’t fall behind?

Joe: It comes down to constant research. We have engineers who are always exploring new technologies and better ways to do things. As we discover more efficient methods, we bring those back to our clients. Even if we built something for them a year ago, we’ll revisit it and say, there’s a better way now. It might be faster, more cost-effective, or more scalable. We’re always evolving. We don’t sit back and say we did a good job and stop there. We ask how we can improve it.

Vonoi: So your process is always evolving?

Joe: Absolutely. That’s a core part of who we are. We’re constantly asking what’s next and how we can make things better. We focus on delivering value, improving efficiency, and making solutions more manageable for our clients.

Vonoi: Looking ahead, where do you see this space going in the next year or two?

Joe: It’s only going to get better. Everything will become more efficient, and the quality will continue to improve. With Open Parcel, we see a lot of growth. Right now, you can upload documents individually. In the next phase, you’ll be able to upload entire document libraries through systems like SharePoint and query everything at once. It’s going to evolve quickly, and the capabilities will expand significantly.

Vonoi: Final question. At a conference like this, where everyone is offering AI solutions, what truly sets you apart?

Joe: It comes back to how we listen and respond to our clients. We focus deeply on understanding their problems and turning those into real solutions. We’re very nimble. We can adjust quickly, fix issues fast, and deliver updates in real time. We’re not a massive organization where change takes forever. We’re focused, responsive, and flexible. If something doesn’t work, we fix it immediately. If needed, we rebuild it. Our goal is to grow through strong partnerships, and we’ve been doing that successfully for 30 years.
