 Company Overview 

Pervasive Software (NASDAQ: PVSW) helps companies get the most out of their data investments through embeddable data management and agile integration software. The embeddable PSQL database engine allows organizations to successfully embrace new technologies while maintaining application compatibility and robust database reliability in a near-zero database administration environment. Pervasive's agile, multipurpose integration platform accelerates the sharing of information between multiple databases, applications, or hosted business systems and allows customers to reuse the same software for diverse integration scenarios. For more than two decades, Pervasive products have delivered value with a compelling combination of performance, flexibility, reliability and low total cost of ownership. Pervasive's hallmark is the size, diversity and loyalty of its customer base, partners and channels:  tens of thousands of customers in virtually every industry, in more than 150 countries, rely on Pervasive to manage, integrate, analyze and secure their critical data.

We offer our customers a line of data infrastructure products, including:

  • Pervasive Data Integrator, our data and application integration software that provides a functionality-rich development environment for creating and managing cost-effective integration solutions for any industry.
  • Pervasive PSQL, combines performance, embeddability and low total cost of ownership into a secure, flexible and scalable database engine. Embeddable with a small footprint, it requires minimal maintenance for small and mid-size businesses. Couple it with tools like DataExchange or AuditMaster to get the most flexibility from your embedded data solution.

Pervasive embraces new challenges by providing our customers with the tools they need when they need them. Our healthcare customers, for example, rely on secure, HIPAA-ready Pervasive PSQL to power applications that meet the stringent requirements of American healthcare privacy legislation. Additionally, our e-commerce customers can depend on real-time updates with our message-driven architecture found in our integration products.

Our History

We started in 1982 as SoftCraft with the acclaimed Btrieve database technology and set the benchmark for an entire industry. Acquired by Novell in 1987, we were later spun out as Btrieve Technologies, in response to our singular popularity. We took the name Pervasive Software in 1996 to reflect our global presence, went public in 1997, and launched our flagship Pervasive PSQL product in 1999. In 2003, we acquired Data Junction Corporation to enhance our ability to comprehensively address the data infrastructure needs of our current and future customers.

Our story continues as we build on these successes to solidify a pervasive presence, delivering data infrastructure software that drives success.
