About The ReSource Technology
In 1985, Fred Brandes, a software developer, began his research to solve the mystery of "uncompiling" an executable module. Drawing on his knowledge and interest in cryptography, along with his programming experience, Brandes began to develop a methodology of recognizing patterns of machine instructions to unlock the mystery of recovering source code.
As a result of several years of research and development, Brandes developed a five-step process to recover source code. He built a repository of code patterns and developed an automated system to delink, disassemble and decompile load modules. Lastly, he developed a validation process so he could guarantee customers that the recovered source code would be accurate. In 1992, Brandes and his partner Jim Rahm, founded The Source Recovery Company, Inc. the first and only company with the technology to recover missing source code in the IBM environment.
Because of the uniqueness of its technology, The Source Recovery Company quickly won contracts with large corporations and government agencies, such as American Express, Aramco Services Company, AT&T, Chase Manhattan Bank, CIGNA, EDS, Michelin Tire and the Social Security Administration.
Recognizing the demand that would be created by the Year 2000 crisis, SRC announced a reorganization and company-sponsored financing in September 1996. As a result of the reorganization, SRC operated under the company, The Source Recovery, LLC. In October, 2000, The Source Recovery, LLC returned the ReSource technology, patents, and copyrights back to the original founders.
Since October, 2000, the company has again been operating as The Source Recovery Company, Inc. in Roswell, Georgia. Along with our Marketing Partner, Essential Systems Technical Consulting, we now market the source recovery services.
ReSource™ and the related services,
ReSource/Rename™, ReSource/Reconcile™, ReSource/Verify? are
now marketed by The Source Recovery Company, Inc.

Frederick A. Brandes, President
The founder of SRC and the inventor of its technology, Brandes has been a software developer since 1979, when he was employed by AT&T. At AT&T, he maintained several MVS operating systems, shooting SAD and SVC dumps, coding system mods and exits, and installing and maintaining vendor software.
In 1984, Brandes joined Applied Data Research,
staying with the company when it was acquired by Ameritech, then Computer
Associates. While at ADR, he researched, designed and coded for ADR's
OS version of the LOOK system monitor and sysprog productivity aids toolkit.
His experience at AT&T and ADR provided the base of knowledge he needed
to start Source Recovery Consultants, which he founded in 1989. The consulting
firm evolved into The Source Recovery Company, Inc. in 1992, then The
Source Recovery Company, LLC in 1996. Fred regained his patented technology
and resumed operation of The Source Recovery Company, Inc. in October,
2000.
