We are often asked the meaning behind our name, QUIPA. We named our program QUIPA for two reasons, it stands for Quick Intelligent Project Assistant because all workrooms need a quick intelligent project assistant. In addition, our name is a nod to the Incan Quipu, a beautifully colored system of knotted threads that stored and tracked important information. We like to think of QUIPA as the modern-day Quipu.
