Embarcadero Technologies is an American computer software company that develops, manufactures, licenses, and supports products and services related to software through several product divisions. It was founded in 1993, went public in 2000, and private in 2007.
History
Founded in October 1993 by Stephen Wong and Stuart Browning with a single tool for Sybase database administrators released in December of the same year Rapid SQL, it later added tools for software development on Microsoft Windows and other operating systems, and for database design, development and management, for platforms including Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2 and MySQL.
In April 2000 Embarcadero Technologies had its initial public offering, and was listed on NASDAQ with symbol EMBT.
In November the same year, the company acquired GDPro, a Unified Modeling Language software provider. In October 2005 Embarcadero acquired data security business Ambeo. In June 2007, Thoma Cressey Bravo bought Embarcadero, and it became a private company. Wayne Williams was appointed chief executive officer of Embarcadero Technologies in 2007.
On May 7, 2008 Borland Software Corporation announced that its software development tools division, CodeGear, was to be sold to Embarcadero Technologies for an expected $23 million price and $7 million in CodeGear accounts receivables retained by Borland. The acquisition closed on June 30, 2008 for approximately $24.5 million.
In December 2011, Embarcadero announced AppWave, an enterprise app store for PCs running Microsoft Windows instead of mobile phones. The platform supports Embarcadero software, commercial titles and free and open source apps. In April 2012 it was moved to a web site called AppWave Store.
The company headquarters is in San Francisco, California, with international offices in Toronto, Sydney, Munich, Maidenhead (United Kingdom) Alicante (Spain) and Iaşi (Romania). As of 2012 the company had an annual revenue of $100 million, and about 500 employees on its payroll.
In 2014 Embarcadero Technologies nearly acquired the CA ERwin Data Modeler product from CA, Inc.. This acquisition was blocked by the Department of Justice over anti-competitive concerns.
In October 2015 it was announced that the company is to be sold to some database performance tool vendor called Idera.
