Servoy

Servoy is the brainchild of Jan Aleman and Jan Blok who met each other while studying computer science. Development began in 1997 and was used with just a few of their existing clients. In 2001 they created Servoy, B.V. (in the Netherlands) and took the product commercial. A couple of years after that they opened Servoy, Inc. (in the USA). In 2006 sales took off as Servoy grew beyond its original 4GL replacement era and was targeted towards ISVs (Independent Software Vendors) and became a tool for ISVs to quickly rewrite for the Internet with Web 2.0 functionality (RIA, AJAX, data broadcasting, etc.)
