[edit] History
On 8 February 2006 Borland announced[1] that they would seek a buyer for their IDE division and database products. During the spin-off negotiations, these divisions internally reorganized into a "company within a company" called the Developer Tools Group, in anticipation of the sale. Eventually, five parties bid for the group.[2] However, no bidder offered Borland "numbers that appropriately reflected the value we think is in the business," according to a conference call with Borland CEO Tod Nielsen.[3]
Borland's 2006 annual report showed that its CodeGear IDE business had sales of $75.7 million in 2006, which accounted for 25 percent of Borland's total revenue.[3]
