Eric Pulaski on What CPAs Want in Technology Today


In the “consumerization” of technology,  Eric Pulaski, founder and CEO of SmartVault, says accountants now expect more than just useful technology. It must also be simple and beautiful. Blame it on Apple.

Pulaski founded SmartVault Corporation in November of 2007, and currently serves as the company’s chief executive officer. As founder, Pulaski has made it his mission to deliver a simple, low-cost document management solution that uses cloud-based technology (low cost) but is centered around integration with applications customers already use, such as QuickBooks. He contributed heavily to the initial formation and conception of SmartVault, and continues to play a vital role in the overall product design, roadmap and go-to-market strategy.

Prior to SmartVault, Pulaski founded and served as CEO and chairman of BindView Corporation, a leading supplier of security management software solutions. Under his management, the company successfully evolved from a privately funded software development group through a successful IPO, and the ultimate sale of the company to Symantec Corporation in 2006.

Pulaski is also an active member of the executive boards for the Holocaust Museum Houston, Teach for America and the Houston Technology Center. He provides philanthropic support to arts, health care and educational organizations.
