Workspace.com is a provider of an online collaborative workspace for information technology teams.

History
[edit]In March 2001, Citrix Systems agreed to purchase Sequoia Software for $185 million.[3] The following year, former Sequoia CEO, Mark Wesker, along with other ex-Sequoia employees created Artifact Software. This new company's first product, CodeJack was a code sharing platform for development teams to collaborate around software artifacts and projects.[4] CodeJack was eventually abandoned. In 2004, Artifact Software began developing its flagship product, Lighthouse. This was aided in part by a $5 million Series A financing shortly thereafter in July 2005.[5] The first version of Lighthouse was launched in February 2007 with both a free and a paid version.[6]
On September 21, 2009 Artifact Software changed both its company name and product name to workspace.com.[7]
Development
[edit]Workspace.com is a project management tool offered as a service. It does not enforce any particular software development methodology. Unlike many other similar tools, it does not integrate into version control systems or integrated development environments; instead, it acts as standalone software.
