rdf:langString Trilogy is a software company based in Austin, Texas. It specializes in software products to Global 1000 companies, especially in the automotive, consumer electronics, and insurance agencies. It was founded by Stanford dropout Joe Liemandt. Trilogy has additional offices in Bangalore and Hangzhou. Its clients include Ford Motor Company, Daimler-Chrysler, Nissan, Goodyear, Prudential, Travelers Insurance, Gateway, and IBM. Trilogy was a 90's pioneer of two new categories of enterprise software: config-price-quote (CPQ) software, which allowed distributed sales forces to accurately quote and configure complex solutions such as mainframes, central office switches, airplanes, and automobiles; and sales compensation software, which allowed sales leaders and HR teams to move sales commissions from spreadsheets to a software database and workflow engine. Trilogy was featured in the October 1998 Rolling Stone article "Wooing the Geeks". Trilogy is notable for its Trilogy University program, which was the topic of the April 2001 Harvard Business Review article "No Ordinary Boot Camp." Trilogy built a 2000 person company primarily through college recruiting. At its peak hiring year, Trilogy hired over 300 college grads into the business. Given the quality of young talent that Trilogy hired throughout the 90s, the alumni have become a well known tech "mafia" with Trilogy alumni going on to found or lead (as CEO) such companies as Nutanix, Shape Security, Sendgrid, Carta, Stella and Dot, Mozilla, Quizlet, Indeed, Tinder, Exahop, Zocdoc, Extend Fertility, and Vertica.
