It was founded in 1992 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and headquartered in Markham, Ontario with 11 branch offices across the United States, Europe and Asia.[3] In January 2012, Platform Computing was acquired by IBM.[4] HistoryPlatform Computing was founded by Songnian Zhou, Jingwen Wang, and Bing Wu in 1992.[5] Its first product, LSF, was based on the Utopia research project at the University of Toronto.[6] The LSF software was developed partially with funding from CANARIE (Canadian Advanced Network and Research for Industry and Education).[7] Platform's revenue was approximately $300,000 in 1993, and reached $12 million in 1997. Revenue grew by 34% (YoY) to US$46.2 million in 2001, US$50 million in 2003.[8] In 1999, the SiteAssure suite was announced by Platform to address website availability and monitoring market.
