Arcada Software, Inc., was a former American computer software company, that was based in California.
History
The company was formed in early 1994 by the merger of Conner Software (the software division of
Quest Development Corporation) in San Luis Obispo, California
.
Conner Software owned the
Norton Antivirus Backup for the DOS, Windows, and Macintosh computing platforms
of the time.
In 1995, Arcada Software acquired the Sytron division of Rexon, to become a leader in the OS/2 market as well.
The Chief Executive Officer of Arcada Software was entrepreneur Kevin Azzouz, also the founder and President of Quest Development Corporation.
Fate
Arcada’s sales revenues grew exponentially over its two-year lifespan, until was acquired by
Seagate Technologies
in 1996.
Seagate then spun it and the other software companies it had acquired up to that time off into a wholly owned subsidiary called Seagate Software.
