[edit] FatWire History
FatWire Software was established in 1996 by Mark Fasciano, Ari Kahn, and John Murcott as the first Java-based Web Content Management provider. Web Content Management (WCM) is critical to creating an effective web presence. [2] FatWire's first product, UpdateEngine, offered enterprise level web content management. In 2003, FatWire acquired Open Market's Web Content Management (WCM) assets from divine, providing FatWire with a global customer base. The company launched Content Server 6.0 WCM software in 2004. Yogesh Gupta was named President and CEO in August 2007 and the company acquired Infostoria[3], a maker of web 2.0 collaboration software, in October 2007.
FatWire Content Server helps organizations to build, deploy and manage sophisticated Web sites and online communications from a simple interface. With the addition of Infostoria functionality, FatWire customers can improve the Web experience they offer, to drive increased customer loyalty and sales.[4] The Infostoria products, launched as FatWire TeamUp, include a simple means for non-technical users to set up blogs or Wikis and a content integration platform for sharing rich media.
