History
Gliffy was founded in 2005 by friends and former coworkers, Chris Kohlhardt and Clint Dickson. The two software engineers saw a need for an online diagramming tool and decided to leave their full-time jobs and start a company to develop it.[3] Kohlhardt contacted Mike Cannon-Brookes, one of the founders of Atlassian, an Australian enterprise software company. With his encouragement, Kohlhardt and Dickson created a Gliffy plugin for Atlassian’s collaboration product Confluence, and business took off.[4] In May 2006, Gliffy announced its public beta and by 2007 the beta was removed. In 2009, a new Gliffy plugin for Atlassian's JIRA product was unveiled and in 2010 Gliffy was added to the Google Apps marketplace. In early 2013, Gliffy moved to an all HTML5 platform,[5] at the same time adding Visio support.[6] Gliffy integrates with Google Apps, Google Drive, JIRA, and Confluence, and has over two million registered users.[citation needed] It was acquired by Rogue Wave Software in October 2018, which was then acquired by Perforce in January 2019.[7][2][1]
