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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of literature—take the net result of Tiraboshi, Warton, or Schlegel,—is a sum of a very few ideas, and of very few original tales,—all the rest being variation of these.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“For a transitory enchanted moment man must have held his breath in the presence of this continent, compelled into an aesthetic contemplation he neither understood nor desired, face to face for the last time in history with something commensurate to his capacity for wonder.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
