CodeGear is a wholly-owned division of Borland Software Corporation, which develops software development tools such as the Delphi IDE and programming language and the database server InterBase. It was launched on 14 November 2006. CodeGear's first CEO was Ben Smith. The current CEO is Jim Douglas.

History

On 8 February 2006 Borland announced that they would seek a buyer for their IDE division and database products.[1] During the spin-off negotiations, these divisions ("developer tools group") internally reorganized into a subsidiary called CodeGear. Eventually, five parties bid for the group.[2] However, no bidder offered Borland "numbers that appropriately reflected the value we think is in the business," according to a conference call with Borland CEO Tod Nielsen.[3]

Borland's 2006 annual report showed that its CodeGear IDE business had sales of $75.7 million in 2006, which accounted for 25 percent of Borland's total revenue.[4]
