Borland was a computing technology company founded in 1983 by Niels Jensen, Ole Henriksen, Mogens Glad and Philippe Kahn, whose main business was developing and selling software development and deployment products. It began as a Danish venture making tools for the CP/M operating system, and its American company was led by Kahn as chairman, president and chief executive from its start until 1995. Its first product was Turbo Pascal in 1983, developed by Anders Hejlsberg, followed by the Sidekick utility in 1984 and, later, the Turbo C++ and Delphi tools. Borland was headquartered first in Scotts Valley and Cupertino in California and then in Austin, Texas. In 2009 it became a subsidiary of Micro Focus International, which OpenText acquired in 2023.
