Erich J. Ruth

I build focused software businesses around practical problems—forms, filing formats, calculations, documents, and workflows that can be made easier with the right tool.

Ruth Technology Corporation is the home for a portfolio that spans tax reporting, medical billing, financial software, legal and professional tools, shipping paperwork, and online calculators. I have always been drawn to software that has a clear purpose: give a customer a complicated job and make that job simpler to finish.

My work ranges from traditional Windows desktop programs to electronic filing tools and newer web projects. I am especially interested in recurring business requirements where a specialized application can be more useful than a large general-purpose system.

The corporate side of this website covers the products. This page gets to be less formal. Below is the family side of life—sports, animals, outdoors, everyday moments, and a gallery that is intentionally more fun than the rest of the site.
