Blueberry Software Company Profile

Blueberry Software, Inc., a privately-held California corporation, is located in the city of Concord in the San Francisco East Bay. The company was started in March of 1986 by Steven Beigel, the current President and CEO. Since its establishment, Blueberry Software has developed both retail and OEM document conversion products for the desktop, publishing, and office automation markets.

The company's initial offerings were DOS products directed at the typesetting market. Translation using Blueberry's proprietary internal format allows formatted material prepared using many different software tools to be converted into other formats, eliminating the need for rekeyboarding, scanning, or reformatting material.

Identifying an unmet market for a filtering product in the UNIX field, the company began development of UNIX products in April 1987 and broadened its market focus to include office automation and electronic publishing segments with its Filtrix product.

During the Nineties, Blueberry expanded its retail product by partnering with companies such as Applix, Island Software, Clarity, DocuPro, Corel WordPerfect, and Arbortext to provide import/export capabilities for those companies' products.

Blueberry's Filtrix is a multi-platform application, at various times running on DEC, IBM AIX, Sun, and HP unix platforms, as well as DOS and Windows. Currently, Filtrix is available on Windows^TM, and Solaris^TM.
