Our Story
2005
Founded in 2005, MadCap Software emerged from the talented developers at eHelp, known for their work on the renowned help authoring tool, RoboHelp and software simulation tool Captivate. Following eHelp's acquisition by Macromedia in 2003, these developers sought new opportunities. MadCap's founding CEO, Anthony Olivier, formerly the CEO of eHelp, recognized the potential to build a next generation authoring solution using a more modern technology based on XML.
2008
MadCap Software announced the launch of MadCap Lingo, which rewrites the rules for translating documentation. MadCap Lingo, an XML-based, fully integrated translation memory system and authoring tool, eliminates the need for file transfers to complete translation. As a result, documentation and localization professionals no longer have to risk losing valuable content and formatting.
2011
In 2011, the MadCap was awarded the patent that would be the differentiator for MadCap Flare and also launched the Scholar Program to help students, educators and universities gain access to industry-standard tools that support technical writing and documentation best practices. To date, over 110 college & university writing labs participate in the program.
2015
MadCap Software acquired Doc-To-Help from GrapeCity in 2015. Together, the offerings enabled MadCap to provide the industry with a full spectrum of content authoring solutions, regardless of the user’s skillset, industry or requirements.
2017
In January of 2017 MadCap Software launched MadCap Central and combined the powerful desktop authoring capabilities of MadCap Flare with a cloud-based publishing and content management solution for a comprehensive, agile, cost-effective alternative to ECM systems. Today, MadCap Central helps streamline the entire documentation workflow and enable documentation teams to manage projects and content in one centralized location.
2020
MadCap Software achieves coveted ISO 13485 certification for MadTranslations to extend support for translating medical device companies’ documentation. Certification in the ISO 13485 medical device quality management system standard complements MadTranslations’ existing certifications in ISO 17100 for translation quality and ISO 9001 for quality management.
2022
Building on 16 years of growth, MadCap Software received a significant, majority-growth investment from Battery Ventures to accelerate growth amid an expanding market. Battery is a global, technology-focused investment firm with a long history of backing business-focused software companies.
2023
MadCap Software acquired IXIASOFT and Xyleme to add an enterprise-class CCMS and LCMS to the lineup of solutions for our customers. The additions, which build on strong adoption by each companies’ customers, enables organizations to choose best-in-class solutions, aligned with their specific needs for developing, delivering and managing content, from a single vendor.
