The story
Epiphany was incorporated in 1996 as E.piphany Marketing Software. It was co-founded by Steve Blank, Ben Wegbreit, with Greg Walsh, and John McCaskey serving as its lead programmers. By 1998, Roger Siboni was CEO and the following year the company sought to raise investment via an initial public offering.
In January 1999, the company introduced the Epiphany E.4 System, a suite of 16 applications that combined information from sales, billing, and marketing databases into a browser-accessible database. Its early customers included Hewlett-Packard and Wells Fargo.
Epiphany completed its initial public offering on September 22, 1999. In November the same year, the company acquired RightPoint Inc., an internet customer management software supplier, at a $393.8 million value.
In 2000, the company acquired Octane Software, a company that developed customer care applications. On September 29, 2005, Epiphany was acquired by SSA Global Technologies. Epiphany CRM software is now produced by Infor, which acquired SSA Global in 2006.
