Our
History
"Initially
incorporated in 1989, ACD Systems Ltd. changed its name on April 28,
1993 as it evolved into a software developer for the nascent CD-ROM
cataloguing industry. It was realized that a key technological
advantage could be found if ACD developed the fastest software JPEG
decoder on the market. After intensive research and development,
ACDSee was born and quickly evolved into the dominant player in the
image viewing and management market. ACDSee was bundled with
and became the defacto JPEG decoder/viewer for Mosaic, the very first
Web browser. As a shareware program ACDSee quickly dominated the
worldwide web and has since built an impressive global user base
estimated to be well over 25 million users. ACD Systems Ltd.
currently experiences close to a million downloads per month of its software."
"ACD
Systems diversified its business in 2003 by acquiring 410124 Canada
