about meta5
Born in Silicon Valley through an exclusive partnership with IBM, meta5 is uniquely engineered to integrate today’s data and applications—and to work with the new interfaces of the future.
meta5 was founded in 2000 when Relational Development Systems (RDS), a long-standing IBM Partner led by Jim Kanzler, was selected to migrate IBM’s Intelligent Decision Server (IDS) product to the Windows platform. RDS rebranded this IDS integration and automation technology—and the company itself—as meta5, the name a nod to Metaphor Computer Systems which built the original system's rock-solid foundation.
Today, meta5 supports businesses from small start-ups to enterprise companies with our toolset, working with data and applications across a broad range of platforms and software. Steeped in our rich history, we continue to enhance our technology to integrate with today’s ever-changing data and business applications—and to deliver Business Intelligence systems that others can only dream of.
