Although SoftSource Corp. has only existed since October 2000, its founders and key employees have been solving complex problems with innovative technology for many years.

Our management team and software experts saw the promise of the Internet from its origin. Working with the creators of the original Mosaic browser at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, our development team defined the first vector format standard designed specifically for the Web, and created award winning software that is used today on thousands of PC's within Fortune 500 companies. Members of the management team helped create the early Web infrastructure, deployed one of the first Internet business-to-business catalogs, and have more than 50 years of combined experience in building and managing successful companies.
