In 1994, ODI was listed as No. 1 on Inc. magazine's list of fastest-growing private companies in the U.S.[1] A major early customer was Telstra, which used it to map toll-free telephone numbers to an end point close to the caller, for example a local taxi company or chain restaurant.[2] ODI's went public in 1996, and was listed on NASDAQ as ODIS.[3]
In January 2000, ODI was renamed eXcelon and focused its marketing on XML integration software.[4]
In 2002, ODI was acquired by Progress Software, which continued to develop it. In 2013, Progress Software sold the ObjectStore product line (among others) to Aurea Software, Inc., a newly formed operating subsidiary of ESW Capital, which in turn is the investment arm of Trilogy Enterprises. As part of the deal, ObjectStore moved to a separate operating subsidiary of ESW Capital.[5]
