It has headquarters in Palo Alto, California, and offices in North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa and South America. The company's major commercial competitors are IBM and Oracle Corporation. Teknekron Corp., which funded start-ups or "technology incubators," provided $250,000 in seed capital to Vivek Ranadivé in 1985 and in... 1986 Teknekron Software Systems was born. It was spun off into an independent company in 1987. Frustrated by how software seemed to always under-deliver, while hardware was always on time and under budget, Ranadivé set out to build software based on the premise of a "Software Bus" , where a "bus" is the standard data highway by which various elements – like a computer system such as the CPU, the memory, the I/O devices, etc. — communicate. This concept would allow for the "tight" coupling of applications.
