History
ICS was founded in 1987 to provide professional services and training for the then up and coming X Window System, and in turn to produce an industry trade show called Xhibition.
In 1989, ICS began selling its first software product, OSF/Motif — a toolkit developed by an industry consortium called the Open Software Foundation (OSF). ICS enhanced and repackaged the toolkit to sell directly to developers and development organizations.
ICS also maintains MotifZone, the official home page for the Open Motif development project. MotifZone.com features a comprehensive bug database, the CVS development tree for OpenMotif, pre-built binary distributions for Linux distributions, and Motif documentation.
In 1990, ICS released its first internally developed product — Builder Xcessory (BX). This tool was sold to UNIX software developers to help them create Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) for their applications.
In 2004, ICS acquired CenterLine Systems, a technology leader in C/C++ testing solutions, and continues to upgrade and enhance Replay Xcessory a Motif testing tool.
In 2005, ICS acquired the UIM/X product line from Bluestone Consulting. UIM/X is a GUI Builder for Motif application developers. Ics continues to enhance and support UIM/X which is now available for Linux platforms.
