[edit] History
Founded in 1978 by Phillip T. (Terry) Ragon, who remains its CEO.
InterSystems was one of the original vendors of M-technology (aka MUMPS) systems, with a product called ISM. Over the years, InterSystems acquired several other MUMPS implementations: DTM from Data Tree (1993); DSM from Digital (1995); and MSM from Micronetics (1998); making InterSystems the dominant M technology vendor. InterSystems eventually started combining features from these products into one they called OpenM.
InterSystems launched Caché in 1997. At that time they stopped new development for all of their legacy M-based products (although the company stills supports existing customers who use them).
InterSystems launched Ensemble in 2003.
HealthShare was launched in 2006.
In 2007, InterSystems purchased Trak Health, an Australian vendor of TrakCare, a modular healthcare information system that is based on InterSystems’ technology.
DeepSee, a business intelligence system implemented in Caché, was launched in 2008.
On August 14, 2008, the Boston Globe reported that Intersystems was filing a lawsuit against Microsoft Corporation, another tenant in their headquarters in Cambridge, seeking to prevent them from expanding their space in the building. They also filed a lawsuit against building owner Equity Office Partners, a subsidiary of The Blackstone Group, "contending that it conspired with Microsoft to lease space that InterSystem had rights to, and sought to drive up rents in the process."
