DescriptionInfragistics was formed in January 2001 as the result of a merger between two of the industry's leading component publishers, Sheridan Software and ProtoView Development. In the present day, the merger of the industry's most experienced and leading component vendors offers the software component market place the combined knowledge and expertise of companies that have thrived as market leaders since the industry's inception in the early 1990s. Sheridan Software and ProtoView Development have a combined total of over 198 industry awards.

Starting with a new generation of presentation-layer components, now suited for both rich client as well as server-based, multiple client environments, Infragistics shaped a strategy to develop a series of components that act as major enablers of web services application development and provide key business functions in component form.
