Glazier Systems
In 1995 in Wellington (New Zealand) Tony Stewart, Rod Drury, Andrew Kissling and Pat Ryan established Glazier Systems as a software-development company that specialised in developing systems for Microsoft Windows - hence the name.
In the early days Microsoft Access was the tool of choice. When the Internet came into prominence in the late 1990s Glazier began to build systems using Active Server Pages.
Glazier grew rapidly until, in 1999, the listed company Advantage Group acquired it for $7.5 million in cash and shares. At the time Glazier had 55 staff and offices in Wellington and Auckland.
In 2001 Tony Stewart lead a management buyout of the former Glazier Systems Wellington office and formed Intergen. Intergen carried on where Glazier had left off. As of 2014 Intergen had over 380 staff and offices in Wellington, Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Seattle.
On 21 October 2014 ASX-listed IT-services company Empired Limited bought Intergen for an undisclosed sum.[1]
