Founded in 1993, Mainsoft Corporation is a first mover in developing cross-platform technologies that interoperate Windows and open systems. Our C++ enterprise porting platform, Mainsoft for UNIX and Linux (formerly called Visual MainWin for UNIX and Linux) has been used by many of the world's largest independent software vendors, including Microsoft, IBM Rational, Computer Associates, and Oracle, to deploy more than $1 billion in Windows software annually on either UNIX or Linux or both operating systems.

Beginning in 2004, Mainsoft has transformed the .NET- Java EE interoperability market with its breakthrough cross-compilation software, Mainsoft for Java EE (formerly called Visual MainWin for J2EE), which enables an unprecedented level of integration between the two platforms. In 2005, the company launched the first Linux site for Visual Studio developers, enabling .NET developers to develop applications that run on Linux and other Java-enabled platforms using their expertise in Visual Studio development skills. In 2006, Forrester recognized Mainsoft as a leading provider of .NET-Java interoperability solutions, and Mainsoft entered a strategic partnership with IBM to provide .NET-Java EE coexistence solutions for IBM customers.

An advanced IBM business partner, Mainsoft today enables IT organizations to deliver a complete front-end Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), with secure, role-based access to .NET and Java services. Currently, Mainsoft is helping more than 150 businesses using C# and Visual Basic programming to deploy Windows applications natively on open systems, including WebSphere Portal and WebSphere Application Server, as well as on the UNIX and Linux operating systems.

Our vision

The complexities of .NET-Java platform interoperability, and the mismatch of developer skill sets with long-term corporate IT objectives, have had a dramatic impact on business agility and growth. Today, .NET-Java EE interoperability is one of the major obstacles to achieving true Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). By extending the Java EE platform to support the C# and Visual Basic languages in addition to Java, Mainsoft enables enterprise IT to quickly deliver SOA across .NET and Java using its diverse developer skill sets. Unlike any other solution in the marketplace, Mainsoft facilitates the development of composite enterprise applications across .NET and Java components, and we enable enterprise IT to dramatically simplify a heterogeneous production environment by deploying .NET code on a unified Java EE stack.

100% commitment to service and support

In today's demanding IT environment, delays in time-to-deployment and downtime are not only unwelcome - they're costly. If your applications aren't deployed on-time and available on a consistent basis, your business suffers. Damages can mean the loss of millions of dollars for every hour of downtime, and the costs can extend well beyond the financial realm and into key areas of customer loyalty, market competitiveness, and regulatory compliance.

Ensuring our customers' success is one of our core competencies. Since the early 90's, leading software vendors have counted on Mainsoft to ensure their enterprise software runs on the UNIX and Linux operating systems 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Likewise, if you're running mission-critical applications and issues like 24x7 phone support or guaranteed consultant availability are a must, you can count on Mainsoft's support team to provide the premium support you need.
