Although the Vanteon corporate office in Rochester New York is still alive (barely), this puts three of the five places that I have worked in my software development career out of business.
- Pacific Simulation
- Alive, but they were seriously hurting as an independent business and sold out to Invensys.
- Spur Products
- Dead. They sold the product line I worked on to Oce, which hired up the entire development team. Spur shut down and a product support person there bought the Spur name and runs a business under it that services all the old Spur products.
- Syndeo Systems
- Dead. Most of the equipment and employees were let go or were sucked up by Acentris Wireless Communications or Covault which were companies run by one of the investors in Syndeo.
- MicroCrafts/Vanteon Redmond
- Dead. Shut down by Vanteon corporate. Fate of most employees unknown.
- Expedia
- Alive! Making bank. Stock down some from the high, but still doing better than it was this time last year and our balance sheet is healthy. We make a healthy profit.
