The company was funded during the dot-com bubble of 1998–2000 and subsequently changed its name to WebOS and adopted the primary goal of developing a web-based operating system, taking focus off its collaboration products. In 2002, however, the company re-opened its doors as HyperOffice to concentrate on its collaboration products again.
The company has its headquarters located in Rockville, Maryland.
HyperOffice was founded in 1999 by Drew Morris and Shervin Pishevar. The lead angel investor was Strategic Technology Investors, co-managed by Roy Morris and Steve Zecola, two former telecom executives. It was one of the earliest incarnations of hosted groupware, along with sites such as Jump.com (bought by Microsoft), When.com (bought by AOL), and Hotoffice (which died but was resurrected). It was amongst the early few companies to offer software-as-a-service (SaaS), a popular and emergent approach to application deployment today. Also, its later incarnation, WebOS, had a contribution in the emergence of the rich Internet language known as Ajax.
