     <title><![CDATA[Looking Back at Atalasoft]]></title>
     <description><![CDATA[<p>
	Since we are moving to a new blogging platform (and not moving the posts over) I thought it was a good opportunity to reflect back at some blog posts I&rsquo;ve written since I started blogging about 7 years ago during the early years of Atalasoft. Even as the author, it&rsquo;s interesting to read about our progress and my take on it. Please Enjoy!</p>
<p>
	<strong><u>2006</u></strong></p>
<p>
	<a href="http://www.billbither.com/cs/blogs/billbither/archive/2006/01/19/9645.aspx">Venture Funding vs. Bootstrapping</a><br />
	On of my first blog posts about why not to take VC. As you might imagine, I&rsquo;m pretty happy that we didn&rsquo;t take on outside investment.</p>
<p>
	<a href="http://www.billbither.com/cs/blogs/billbither/archive/2006/01/01/9642.aspx">Inception of a Company Name</a><br />
	This is how the name Atalasoft came to be. It goes into more detail than I give when people ask me in-person, and some helpful tips if you&rsquo;re thinking about a brand name yourself.</p>
<p>
	<a href="http://www.billbither.com/cs/blogs/billbither/archive/2006/04/14/9940.aspx">New Office &ndash; One Week to Go!</a><br />
	We started with a lot of room to grow. Now we completely fill the space! My office window still has a <a href="http://www.billbither.com/cs/blogs/billbither/archive/2006/10/10/10968.aspx">great view of Mt Tom</a>.</p>
<p>
	<a href="http://www.billbither.com/cs/blogs/billbither/archive/2006/09/08/from-nothing-to-something.aspx">From Nothing to Something</a><br />
	Talks about how I started Atalasoft. Whoa, my kids are bigger now.</p>
<p>
	<a href="http://www.billbither.com/cs/blogs/billbither/archive/2006/11/27/11130.aspx">The AJAX Craze: History of AJAX Imaging at Atalasoft</a><br />
	Yup, we knew zero-footprint imaging was the future back in 2006 and already had a couple years on the competition. Now we can call it the HTML Viewer because people expect rich client apps from HTML.</p>
<p>
	<a href="http://www.billbither.com/cs/blogs/billbither/archive/2006/12/11/starting-a-software-company-outside-a-startup-hub.aspx">Starting a Company Outside a Startup Hub</a><br />
	Relates to my experience starting Atalasoft outside of San Francisco, Boston, or New York.</p>
<p>
	<strong><u>2007</u></strong></p>
<p>
	<a href="http://www.billbither.com/cs/blogs/billbither/archive/2007/03/13/leveraging-emerging-technology-as-a-foundation-for-your-startup-software-company.aspx">Leveraging Emerging Technology as a Foundation for your Software Startup</a><br />
	Written 5-years ago, but still relevant today.</p>
<p>
	<a href="http://www.billbither.com/cs/blogs/billbither/archive/2007/08/11/financial-stability-of-a-bootstrapper.aspx">Financial Stability of a Bootstrapper</a><br />
	More info about how I started Atalasoft and financed it&rsquo;s growth organically.</p>
<p>
	<a href="http://www.billbither.com/cs/blogs/billbither/archive/2007/11/13/9-concepts-high-tech-ceo-s-should-know-about-software-development.aspx">9 Concepts High-Tech CEO&rsquo;s Should Know about Software Development</a><br />
	Turns out I know a thing or two about that. Still relevant.</p>
<p>
	<a href="http://www.billbither.com/cs/blogs/billbither/archive/2007/11/13/9-concepts-high-tech-ceo-s-should-know-about-software-development.aspx">Atalasoft Inc. &ndash; 5 Years Old</a><br />
	Never would have guessed that Atalasoft would be a Kofax Company at 10-years!</p>
<p>
	<strong><u>2008</u></strong></p>
<p>
	<a href="http://www.billbither.com/cs/blogs/billbither/archive/2008/11/15/the-case-for-zero-footprint-document-viewing.aspx">The Case for Zero-Footprint Document Viewing</a><br />
	I would say we called that one and more people understand now</p>
<p>
	<strong><u>2011</u></strong></p>
<p>
	<a href="http://www.billbither.com/cs/blogs/billbither/archive/2011/01/29/reflection-on-growing-atalasoft-in-2010.aspx">A Reflection on Growing Atalasoft in 2010</a><br />
	Title speaks for itself. The growth led to the successful acquisition later in 2010.</p>
<p>
	<a href="http://www.billbither.com/cs/blogs/billbither/archive/2011/05/20/the-big-deal-kofax-to-acquire-us.aspx">The Big Deal &ndash; Kofax to Acquire us!</a><br />
	Phew! That took a LOT of work.</p>
<p>
	<a href="http://www.billbither.com/cs/blogs/billbither/archive/2011/11/14/html5-and-the-end-of-the-line-for-flash-and-silverlight.aspx">HTML and the end of the line for Flash and Silverlight</a><br />
	My prediction on the future of Rich Internet Application development, and why we won by investing heavily in HTML.</p>
