History

Jacada was founded in 1990 under the company name Client/Server Technology. The original vision of the company was to help organizations leverage and re-use their significant investments in legacy systems.

In 1997, the company introduced its first Java-based web-to-host product branded "Jacada". In 1999, Jacada changed the company name from Client/Server Technology Ltd. to Jacada Ltd. Jacada went public in October 1999, and its shares are traded on Nasdaq under the symbol "JCDA."[2]

In January 2008, Jacada sold its "legacy" business to Software AG for $26 million in cash. [3] This transaction included the intellectual property and related customer contracts associated with the Jacada "legacy" products [Terminal Emulator, Jacada Studio, Jacada Innovator, Jacada Interface Server and Jacada Integrator]. Under the terms of the transaction, Jacada retained the right to develop, market, sell, and support Jacada Interface Server and Jacada HostFuse in support of its call center solutions business.[4]

In 2017, Jacada appointed Yochai Rozenblat as CEO.[5]
