Our Evolution: Pioneers of Cloud Computing
Wizmo, Inc. was born during the Internet gold rush era of the mid-1990s. Like a lot of early tech businesses, we started with multiple services, and narrowed our focus as the decade progressed. Around the time that so many dot-coms were crashing around us, we were fortified by a team of aspiring computer nerds with some sharp ideas.
And so in the late ’90s, the vision at Wizmo changed from do-all-the-tech-services to strategic-start-up-with-smarts. At this point, the Cloud was still known only in the world of weather, but the Internet was fast becoming ubiquitous.
Our computer champs believed they could work with software vendors to deliver applications via the Internet. The goal was to provide the speed and agility of web apps (still new and quite simple) with the rich functionality of a client-server application. And to do it all without having to touch the original code.
So, Team Wizmo figured it out. In 2001, when the concept of cloud computing was still in its infancy, we delivered our first SaaS application. It was a high stakes inaugural effort for Wizmo, seeing as that our client was a Fortune 500 company. But we made it happen. Because that’s what we do.
