Expansion Programs International, Inc. (Thunderstone), a privately held California
corporation was founded in 1981. It
develops and markets a suite of software applications and tools
that search, manage, filter and retrieve information for individuals
and global enterprises. Thunderstone's products are licensed to
corporations, government agencies, on-line service providers,
Internet publishers and developers worldwide.
From 1980-1995 most of Thunderstone's product licenses were embedded
within OEM packages developed and sold by other organizations. Notable examples include,
Wordperfect Corp. , Dow Jones, C3 - Telos, The Japan Times, and Reality Software.
The increased popularity of Internet search technology has raised Thunderstone's
profile in large single-site applications like those at eBay, Novell, Advance Publications,
Pactel, Associated Press, Ziff-Davis, and Bill Gates' Corbis.
Thunderstone remains dedicated to its mission of product oriented R&D within
the area of advanced Information Retrieval and Management. Its steadfast
high-quality low-profile approach is intended to attract and retain a more
educated and discriminating client-base. Many new vendors of retrieval
technology have surfaced within the past few years, but at this time no
other company possesses the product depth and scope to deliver a product
as robust, reliable, and well equipped as Thunderstone.
