part of HiQ
Frends is currently owned and developed by HiQ (HiQ was established in 1995 and is since 2020 owned by Triton), though originally Frends was developed as a productized solution in 1988 for the following Finnish Oil Refinery companies: Neste, Shell and Teboil, which are still Frends customers after 30 years.
the name
The name "Frends" is actually an acronym that comes from the initial integration use case Frends was used in; which was using dial-up modems to connect to every gas station in Finland and exchange data between the stations and a central IBM Mainframe. This resulted in the acronym Front End Dialing System or Frends.
the team
Currently the development Team consists of 10 core developers, supported by a 100 person consultancy and support organization delivering solutions and SLA -services to customers worldwide.
