Configuresoft, Inc. was a United States-based software firm best known for its Enterprise Configuration Manager solution. In May 2009, the company was acquired by EMC Corporation.
The enterprise was originally founded in 1999 under the name Fundamental Software, Inc. by CEO E. Alexander Goldstein, CTO Dr. Dennis Moreau, Chairman Louis Woodhill, and VP of Worldwide Sales Alan Sage. Its creation aimed to secure the intellectual property rights of the Enterprise Configuration Manager product from London’s Serverware Group plc, which also obtained an equity stake in the new venture through this arrangement.
To avoid confusion with similarly named organizations, the company adopted the name Configuresoft, Inc. in January 2001.
By April 2004, Configuresoft had moved its headquarters from Woodland Park to Colorado Springs, where it grew to become one of the region’s significant employers.
In July 2006, Mark Ruport took over as CEO from Goldstein, who later resumed leadership in February 2009.
Prior to being purchased by EMC, Configuresoft counted among its clientele prominent global corporations such as Citigroup, ExxonMobil, Intel Corporation, Qwest Communications, along with several UK governmental bodies including the Ministry of Defence, Department for Children, Schools and Families, and Department for Work and Pensions.
