Allaire Corporation

Information Technology

Allaire Corporation was an American computer software company founded by the brothers Jeremy and JJ Allaire in Minnesota in May 1995 and later headquartered in Cambridge and then Newton, Massachusetts. It is best known for ColdFusion, a rapid application development platform that let developers build database-driven websites with a tag-based scripting language, CFML. It also produced the HomeSite and ColdFusion Studio editors, and in 2000 acquired Live Software, maker of the JRun Java server, and the Kawa Java IDE. Allaire made its initial public offering on NASDAQ under the ticker ALLR in January 1999 and was acquired by its rival Macromedia in early 2001 for about 360 million dollars. Macromedia was itself bought by Adobe Systems in 2005, which brought ColdFusion under Adobe ownership.
