Company History
Software architects started developing time cockpit in early 2008. The development started with multiple research projects in the areas of semi-automatic time tracking, information visualization, and cloud computing. The research projects were promoted by the Austrian high-tech incubator tech2b and the Austrian Research Promotion Agency. The first private beta program for time cockpit started in early 2010. The first final release was published in late 2010. In 2011 software architects started granting licenses to other companies to use the underlying framework of time cockpit (Cockpit Framework, short CoFX).
