History

Epionet, based in Dublin, Ireland was incorporated in 1997 with a view to exploit opportunities evident from the growth of ebusiness. Since inception, Epionet have grown rapidly, attracting highly skilled professionals, significant investment and a reputation for excellence in web-enabled system development.

As a project based company with European clients including Siemens, Bertelsmann and Build-Online, Epionet developed award winning ebusiness applications. Frustrated with the available toolsets and methodologies the company took the decision to utilise its resources to find better ways of designing, developing and deploying web enabled business solutions. The result of these intensive efforts is now launched as Epiowave.

Since 1999, Epionet has continued to develop Epiowave, an open-standard rapid development and deployment environment for business applications and Web Services, the company has achieved significant objectives: reducing complexity, reducing required skillset and enhancing time to market for ebusiness systems.

2000	Epiowave Version 1.0 completed With the solution now completed, Epionet secured the first business client to use the system - achieving record time to market from design to deployment for an ebusiness solution. Epionet continued development using the Epiowave suite itself to enhance the solution.
