SeeFile was founded in 2003 to address what we saw as a clear need -
for affordable, easy-to-install Web software that would handle a wide range of file types and creative workflows. Our founders, Sam Bogoch and Steven Ryan, worked together at Torque Systems, a leading systems integrator in the 1990's, and worked with a number of pioneering DAM software packages, handling deployments at companies like Schawk, ClearChannel, and Charrette.

Over time, though, it became clear that rather than coming down in price and getting easier to use, these systems kept focusing on complex, high-end corporate deals... a reasonable choice, but one that left the great majority of potential customers out of the loop. Professionals like commercial and wedding photographers, small advertising agencies and branch offices, video editing companies, and print providers all needed a common set of capabilities, at prices that fit with other shrink-wrapped software.

Meanwhile, the increasing capabilities of Macs, Windows PCs and Linux hardware, and powerful new Webserver software like Apache, PHP and MySQL, convinced us that it should be possible to build a new class of software to address these users' needs. We started to build these tools on OSX (though the vast majority of our code is cross-platform) and released version 1.0 of SeeFile at the end of 2004.

Since then, we've been able to come out with significant new upgrades every 60 days or so - version 1.7 was released in late 2005 - and we've also received rave reviews from some pretty tough customers like Seybold, Studio Photography and Design, and Shutterbug. Version 2.0 was released at the beginning of 2006, and the version, 2.6, introduced features like foreign language support (including a full French translation) and streamlined download options. We've also achieved some major design wins, at companies as diverse as Graphic Packaging, Designers' Atelier, Modernista, and Agilent. SeeFile 4.0 was introduced in October 2007.

We're still a small company, and no matter how big we get we'll continue to stay available and responsive to our customers. From our background in systems integration, we've learned the most important thing we can do is talk to our customers and prospects about their needs - Sam still gives his cellphone number out to every single SeeFile owner. We look forward to hearing from you!
