History

The company was founded as SydneyPLUS International in 1989, the result of a merger of International Library Systems Corporation and Sydney Development.[3] A minicomputer version of SydneyPLUS operated in OpenVMS in the 1980s and Unix in 1993.[4] In 1996, SydneyPLUS offered a client/server product for Windows NT or Unix servers.[3]

SydneyPLUS acquired Cuadra Associates in 2008, developers of the Cuadra STAR family of products. It followed with the acquisition of Inmagic, Inc.'s special library business in 2011, including the DB/TextWorks Library Suite.[5]

In June 2013, SydneyPLUS changed its name to Lucidea Corporation.[6]
