In 1998 ADVANTYS released it's first software: PubliGen.
This web based content management solution was then deployed by more than a hundred organizations and is still daily used by thousands of end users.
As a software maker ADVANTYS had to develop reusable web components for it's own usage. In 2000 ADVANTYS decided to share some of those components with the world community of ASP developers. The aspSmart line of products was made available online. The free aspSmartUpload component instantly became a must have and was downloaded by tens of thousands of developers worldwide.
In 2003 the needs of ADVANTYS' clients shifted towards collaboration. The online collaboration tool (eGroupGen) and the workflow software (WorkflowGen) were released that year.
By combining content/portal management, collaboration, workflow and development, ADVANTYS released the Smart Enterprise Suite (SES). ADVANTYS became one of the rare vendors to offer all those components from the same origin.
In 2004 Gartner USA listed ADVANTYS' SES in it's Magic Quadrant among prestigious vendors like Microsoft, SAP, Oracle.
