NuMega

NuMega Technologies, Inc. (also known as NuMega), was a software company founded in 1987 by Frank Grossman and Jim Moskun in Nashua, New Hampshire. The company developed a Kernel mode debugger, now SoftICE, for DOS and the Windows NT family.

In 1995, the company acquired the Marquis Computing, Inc. assets VB/CodeReview and VB/FailSafe, and hired its president, Hank Marquis to manage NuMega Visual Basic products.

In December 1997, the company was acquired by Compuware, when it became NuMega Labs of Compuware. Less than a year after moving to Merrimack, the development lab was effectively shut down on 11 June 2007. In June 2009, Compuware sold the former NuMega products, the intellectual property and transferred the remaining staff to a UK-based firm named Micro Focus.

Mark Russinovich, a software developer who now serves as CTO of Microsoft Azure, started his career at NuMega.

Hank Marquis, who served as a Leadership Partner at Gartner, joined Numega with the acquisition of Marquis Computing Inc.
