History
Originally established in 1985 as BitWise Designs Inc. by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute alumni John Botti and Ira Whitman, the company entered public markets in 1992 under the ticker BTWS. In 1994, BitWise launched its document imaging segment under the brand name DocStar.
The company rebranded to AuthentiDate Holding Corporation in 2001 and began trading on NASDAQ with the symbol ADAT. AuthentiDate was the pioneering recipient of the USPS Electronic Postmark (EPM) certification and continues to serve as the official EPM provider for the United States Postal Service. Although AuthentiDate moved its corporate headquarters to Berkeley Heights, New Jersey in 2005, the DocStar division remained located in Schenectady.
In June 2007, Astria Solutions Group acquired DocStar from AuthentiDate Holding Corp. Later, on January 3, 2017, Epicor Software Corporation purchased DocStar to broaden its portfolio of cloud-based offerings.
