Rich Johnson and Terry Dickson founded Accudata Systems in July 1982. Their first project was for Able Electric – Terry prospected and both were consultants working on the project. There have been a lot of proud moments for the partners over the years: for Rich, it was reaching 100 employees and the realization that Accudata was helping employees support their families across Texas; for Terry, it’s the company’s charity work with MD Anderson Cancer Center that has meant so much.

Now, 35 years later, Rich and Terry are proud that the company has grown to nearly 200 employees, yet maintained a family-like culture. They’ve been able to maintain that culture for over three decades because, according to Rich, “every employee contributes in their own way and is critical to the success of the company.” Terry emphasizes that Accudata does the right thing for its customers and its employees get that. The pair leads by example, adhering to the same principles they did when it was just the two of them.

How do Rich and Terry describe themselves in one word? Rich is dedicated and Terry is patient – and both describe their journey to get to where they are today as one fueled by passion and hard work.
