IRIAN Solutions GmbH was created in 2005 and is a successor of IRIAN Marinschek & Spiegl O.E.G, founded in 2004. IRIAN has from the beginning been involved in dynamic web-development and modern web-applications, and was the first company to provide a free open-source implementation of the first standard for web-development frameworks worldwide, the JavaServer Faces standard. This implementation of JSF is now hosted at the Apache Software Foundation, the largest open source foundation worldwide, and is named Apache MyFaces.
IRIAN is – due to the strong personal interaction of the IRIAN staff with the Apache MyFaces project-team – the main partner and official provider of support and consulting services for the Apache MyFaces project.
IRIAN develops innovative solutions, usually web-applications, for small to large enterprises, using either JavaServer Faces or a host of other innovative, new web technologies and web-frameworks. Examples for such technologies are Ruby on Rails, the Dojo Toolkit or the Google Webtoolkit. IRIAN is also venturing into the field of Web 2.0 applications, both with Apache MyFaces and certain other IRIAN products, e.g our online mind-mapping tool named
mind42.com .
Customers of IRIAN are companies in varying economic branches, but especially banks and insurances. Clients include companies located in Austria (OeKB, Prisma Kreditversicherungen, Erste Bank, BA-CA, Tiscover, T-Systems, ) as well as international enterprises and organisations, which use JSF as their preferred standard for developing web-applications (New York Department of Correction, Deutsche Bank, Patentamt Schweiz, Continentale Versicherungen).
IRIAN’s staff is not only a leading development team for the creation of web-frameworks. IRIAN also promotes the documentation process of diverse web-frameworks. 2006 two books were published, co-authored by IRIAN staff members, one on JSF, and one on Ruby on Rails. Moreover IRIAN staff members present Apache MyFaces, JSF, Ruby on Rails, Google Webtoolkit and other web-related technologies on international conferences, like JAX, JavaOne, ApacheCon Europe, US and Asia or the Java-Polis-Conference.
2006 IRIAN won the
CONSTANTINUS-Award in the category Open-Source – awarded by the Austrian Chamber of Commerce for the project RCMS (Reusable Case Management System), which was realized for the New York Department of Correction. In addition IRIAN was awarded the second prize in the category “international” and the third prize in the category “start-ups“.
