History
Founded in 2001 by Chad Brown and Mark Brown (no relation), IdentityMine sparked from Mark's basement, and now has over 100 employees in 6 offices worldwide. In early 2001, IdentityMine was trying to make an argument for deploying bandwidth in the hospitality industry. The hospitality industry allowed for IdentityMine to bring together design and creativity using Microsoft technologies. IdentityMine started working with Microsoft marketing teams, and then soon directly with Microsoft clients to help with the adoption of various technologies. By the end of 2003 IdentityMine started investing most of its energy in WPF technologies as a way to blend engineering capability with creative talent. In 2004, IdentityMine started using Microsoft Silverlight and Microsoft digital dashboard, which was a portal framework that eventually became a part of SharePoint. By creating UX (User Experience) rich applications using SQL, which then developed into Windows Cloud System, IdentityMine developed a reputation for combining form and function with User Experience. IdentntyMine was paving the way for new Microsoft technologies, and helped shape Microsoft's direction for the development of new platforms. IdentityMine remains at the forefront of emerging Microsoft technologies
