CrossWind Technologies, Inc., designs and markets standards-based enterprise collaboration software for the cooperative workplace.
CrossWind Technologies, Inc. was founded in 1989 to develop networked productivity applications for Fortune 1000 companies and the Federal markets. Our award winning Synchronize™ line of Group Calendaring and Scheduling products enjoyed many technology firsts, including being the first commercial Motif application to market as well as the first client-server groupware application on the market. As a founding member of the IETF calendaring and scheduling workgroup, we worked with other members, including Netscape & Microsoft, to develop a data-sharing standard for calendaring applications. Our next generation product, CyberScheduler for NT™ was introduced as the first web-enabled group calendar on the market. In 1997, CrossWind introduced the first Linux groupware product on the market with CyberScheduler for Linux™. In 1999, CrossWind was acquired by Kronos, Inc. (NYSE: KRON) for the TimeCard Express™ technology, a Microsoft Outlook® based time and billing product for office workers. After technology integration with Kronos, Inc. was completed in 2001, CrossWind and the Synchronize product line were spun off, with the original founders, as the independent entity CrossWind Technologies.
CrossWind Technologies, Inc., offers productivity software to organizations within the commercial, educational, local and federal governmental markets both nationally and internationally (English, French and German) via direct sales, resellers and GSA. The scalability offered in our products provides a solution that can grow to meet the needs of expanding organizations. Our customer sites include installations with as few as ten users, to sites with thousands of users. The largest Synchronize installation was part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) workgroup automation project, which used Synchronize as a key component in a geographic information system for 30,000 Forest Service employees in 795 locations. We are now bringing our strengths in software development, workflow design and statistical analysis together to provide products for the local government market.
