History

Bluenog was formed in 2006 to address the growing needs of companies looking to leverage Web 2.0 functionality [7] using both open source and commercial software. The company secured $4 million in venture capital from NewSpring Capital in 2008 [8] in order to expand the company's products and services offering. Bluenog received an additional $1 million through New Jersey's Edison Innovation Fund in April 2009 [9]

Commercial software, or seldom payware, is a computer software that is produced for sale or that serves commercial purposes. Commercial software can be proprietary software or free and open-source software.

Products

Following the venture capital funding, Bluenog released ICE 4.0. [10] The latest version of the product, ICE 4.5, was released in June 2009 at the Enterprise 2.0 conference in Boston, [11] which added among other features increased collaboration functionality, including a secure enterprise wiki maker.

Awards

In 2009, Bluenog won two technology awards: InformationWeek Startup 50 [12] and RedHerring 100. [13]
