History

Word spread about Blaylock's new software, generating demand for the software among other accounting firms. In response to this demand, Blaylock founded eFileCabinet in 2001 to build upon, improve, and market the software.[http://archive.sltrib.com/printfriendly.php?id=11504547&itype=ngpsid Provo Company's Software ends paper storage] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160420221516/http://archive.sltrib.com/printfriendly.php?id=11504547&itype=ngpsid |date=2016-04-20 }}, January 20, 2009.
