History

A minicomputer version of SydneyPLUS operated in OpenVMS in the 1980s and Unix in 1993. In 1996, the company offered a client/server product for Windows NT or Unix servers. The company now offers SQL and Oracle platforms for client/server installations and an ASP hosted solution. Recently, the company partnered with Cuadra Associates.
