The company was formerly known as Leap Corporation and changed its name to SEVEN Networks, Inc. in December 2000. In 2004 the company was selected for FierceWireless' list of 15 promising and innovative wireless startups of the year. By 2005, CEO Bill Nguyen had left to start another company. In 2006, the company announced Sprint as a customer.
Since then, the company expanded its products to support email services, added mobile instant messaging applications, analytics and social networking. In 2010, the company announced it was selected by Samsung Electronics to provide push technology for Samsung Social Hub, a social networking and integrated messaging service available on several of the company’s handsets. In January 2010, the company claimed in a press release to have more than eight million accounts actively synchronized on mobile devices using its software. In early 2011, the company announced Verizon Wireless as a customer and also announced Open Channel.
In 2012, the company announced a combined email, instant messaging and social media product, Ping.
The Open Channel software product line focuses on mobile traffic management and optimization. There are Open Channel products for wireless signaling optimization, carrier network policy enforcement, and mobile data offloading. Open Channel was launched in February 2011 to help carriers manage the impact of push technology for message notifications on their networks. It works by monitoring all requests for data from smartphone applications, such as Facebook, email, Twitter, which make up to hundreds of requests per hour, with only a small fraction of them actually returning data.
