About Lighthouse
Object Software was founded by David Ankeny and J. Bruce Cross, Director at Cross, Gunter, Witherspoon & Galchus, P.C. David Ankeny is the primary software author, with a long history of affirmative action software development. David originally wrote the business plan, designed and wrote the software to start Optimum Affirmative Action while practicing employment law in New Orleans. Through Object Software, David Ankeny and J. Bruce Cross subsequently formed Lighthouse Compliance Solutions, thus starting the outsourcing revolution in affirmative action planning. Our proprietary software is the cornerstone of Lighthouse Compliance Solutions, the business destined to be a leader in compliance services.
Today, Lighthouse Compliance Solutions continues to provide HR compliance services and now also provides a fully compliant applicant tracking software, as well, to provide online hiring solutions for any size organization.
