Sentences is the creation of Simon Williams,
a software innovator, entrepreneur and investor.
Simon has founded two innovative software companies:
Synon and Lazysoft.
Synon
dominated the worldwide market in application development tools
for the IBM mid-range platform, growing to $80m annual revenue.
Its tools, now branded as CA
Plex and CA
2E, have been used to develop enterprise database applications
by more than 6,000 companies worldwide.
|
Following the successful sale of Synon in 1998,
Simon formed Lazy Software to develop Sentences, a database management
system based on the associative model.
Backed by $11m of investment, Sentences was launched in 2000, and
rapidly won happy customers and favourable comment from analysts
and media.
Lazy Software failed to prosper in the tough post-9/11
climate, and was wound up solvently in 2003. Simon acquired the
company's software and IP, and is now once again investing in the
development and marketing of Sentences.
