Seagate Software
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Seagate Software was an international software corporation headquartered in Scotts Valley, California. It was a majority owned subsidiary of Seagate Technology, the largest independent disc drive and related components company in the world.
The company had two divisions:
- Network and Storage Management Group.
- Information Management Group.
[edit] Network and Storage Management Group
The Network and Storage Management Group developed and sold software for backing data up, and ensuring smooth running of computer networks. The group was sold to VERITAS Software in 1999 in a deal worth $3.1 Billion[1]
[edit] Information Management Group
The Information Management Group developed and sold software for the business intelligence market. It was formed by the acquisition of Holistic Systems (of Holos) and Crystal Services (of Crystal Reports).
Following the sale of NSMG to VERITAS, the company rebranded the remaining company (The former IMG group) as Crystal Decisions on 5 March 2001 [2]. The name was chosen after more respondents in a survey identified Crystal Decisions as the manufacturer of Crystal Reports rather than the then correct Seagate Software.
