Ecal Corp.

ecal was the leading saas provider of carrier scalable, event-driven, collaborative software infrastructure that enabled communications service providers to deploy calendaring, scheduling, and notification services, accessible through any internet-enabled device. ecal’s patented technology unified time and location dependent information generated by disparate groupware applications and other data sources. ecal’s customer base exceeded 100 asp customers (2 million end-users) including market leaders such as at&t, reuters, nokia networks, british telecom, sprint canada, deutsche bank, starwood hotels, zdnet, and others. ecal grew from one employee in 1997 to over 275 in 2000. with a market cap in excess of $350 million, ecal filed for an ipo in april of 2000, which was subsequently withdrawn due to adverse market conditions that became apparent later that month. although ecal was acquired in 2002, the culture and family of ecal still remain today.
