History
When founder and CEO Pankaj Malviya first came up with the idea for LongJump as a customizable on-demand business application platform that ran over the web, it was during a time when the web was still immature and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) was still in its infancy. In 2003, the company launched Relationals but realizing they needed revenue, decided to build applications for sale, including CRM, Sarbanes-Oxley compliance tools, and survey applications. The company even built a dating site, to grow the business and capture a market. In 2007, the company showed some success in their CRM product and reinvested it back into the PaaS product and launched again as LongJump.
