TeamWave Retrospective

About this Site

This site offers a retrospective on some of the (at the time) innovative CSCW technologies that were developed at TeamWave. It serves as a place to gather articles etc. describing how systems such as Workplace were used.

This site is a personal work by Mark Roseman, and is in no way affiliated with Sonexis Inc. (who now own all the rights to the technology).

Brief Company Timeline

TeamWave Software Ltd. was formed in late 1996 by Mark Roseman, as a spin-off from research done at GroupLab at the University of Calgary. Using the TeamRooms prototype from U of C as a starting point, the TeamWave Workplace product was developed. Development shifted to web-based collaboration projects in 1998 (including the sites StuffIncommon.com and OneStopMeeting.com), on the strengths of which the company was sold to Boston-based Sonexis in late 2000, where the technology was rolled into their LearningVoice / netCollaborator / ConferenceManager products.

Others who worked in the company were (in order of appearance): Brad Johnson, Fred Yee, Leo Pelland, Tom Kenworthy, Ted O'Grady, Raymond Yip, Derek Miao, Tayt Winitoy, Darren Shen, Judd Jurado.

Systems

There are separate pages describing both the original TeamWave Workplace product, and also the series of web-based systems that were developed.
