Products and services

A significant portion of the company's offerings are built upon the Pick Universal Data Model (Pick UDM), which serves as a fundamental element within both the XDMS and MDMS product families.

Beginning in 2001, the organization utilized the Pick UDM alongside its proprietary technology to create the TigerLogic suite of products, which comprises:

Yolink, a search tool accessible via web browsers, designed to improve search efficiency and user productivity.
An enterprise-level XML Database Management Server (XDMS) aimed at the expanding XML sector, capable of handling native XML alongside both structured and unstructured datasets.

TigerLogic Yolink

In April 2008, a browser-based search application was introduced for beta evaluation and was later rebranded as Yolink in early 2009. By November 2010, Yolink had been extended to support Safari browsers.

TigerLogic Postano (formerly PostPost)

Initially launched in December 2010 under the name PostPost, this platform allowed users to quickly browse and filter relevant Facebook content. By June 2011, it was rebranded as Postano, enabling companies to aggregate social media and news feeds from across the internet and embed them into their websites.

Postano 2.0 was released in November 2013, bringing improvements in social content curation, audience engagement, and data visualization. This version empowers brands to distribute curated content through social hubs, event displays, retail locations, command centers, and mobile applications.

In April 2017, Cliftech Solutions LLC acquired TigerLogic.

TigerLogic XML Data Management Server (XDMS)

The TigerLogic XDMS offers an enterprise-class native XML database management solution with capabilities focused on both data and document management. Its strength lies in a versatile data model tailored for any XML or non-XML format and a scalable XQuery engine.

Rapid Application Development (RAD) tools

The company's RAD suite facilitates the entire software development lifecycle by supporting rapid prototyping, development, and deployment of GUI client/server as well as Web-based applications.

TigerLogic's Dashboard product delivered real-time business intelligence through graphical widgets. It enabled developers working with the D3 multidimensional database to visualize critical business metrics from distributed sources via intuitive web interfaces.

Multidimensional Databases (MDMS)

The MDMS line is centered around the D3 database management system, compatible with operating systems such as IBM AIX, Linux, and Microsoft Windows. The most recent version includes integrated support for .NET and Java development platforms along with interoperability with the TigerLogic XDMS.

Additionally, TigerLogic provided a complimentary MVS toolkit for clients holding support contracts, facilitating web services development on their D3 and Mentor (MVbase) systems.

On November 18, 2013, Rocket Software completed the acquisition of the MDMS and D3 product lines from TigerLogic.

On February 14, 2002, the company issued a downward revision of its financial reports by roughly $2 million, attributing the adjustment to errors in accounting practices related to acquisitions made in 2000.
