1999 was a pivotal and very successful year for Informix – a year of significant achievements.

The Company was challenged with a formidable task: transforming ourselves from a traditional relational database company into a leading provider of software infrastructure and solutions for the new Internet economy. We set our vision and strategy for the Internet, leveraging the power of our exclusive object-relational technology with the Web’s growing convergence with media and entertainment. We moved closer to becoming a truly market-driven, customer-focused organization. We completed or announced a series of acquisitions:

Red Brick, a leading provider of data warehouse and data mart engines; Cloudscape, the leader in distributed e-business infrastructure; and, Ardent Software, the leader in data integration systems.

Through the process we did not lose our technical roots. Instead, we leveraged our technical strength and launched the most powerful product and solution portfolio in our company’s history. Today, we combine twenty years of experience in highly scalable, reliable database systems with true Internet technology. We are well positioned for the year 2000.

All of this contributed to our record year.
