Allegiance was formed in 2005 when SilentWhistle merged with Allegiance Technologies. SilentWhistle, a compliance and ethics reporting company, was founded by Adam Edmunds in 2004 while he was still in college. Allegiance Technologies, which provided Web-based tools to track, monitor, and manage customer and employee feedback on a real-time basis, was founded in 2000 by Dr. Gary Rhoads, a professor of marketing at BYU. The combination of these two companies has created great opportunities for market and product expansion.
