Kanbay's history is an enduring demonstration of a global organization that transcends geographical and cultural boundaries
Since its founding in the US, Kanbay today has its presence across four continents. This expansion underscores its basic belief—to be a global organization reaching out to partner for success.
The journey to Kanbay's current accomplishment started in 1989 when Kanbay was founded by Raymond J. Spencer, Dileep Nath, and John Patterson with headquarters in Chicago, IL.
In 1991, Kanbay established its India office to support delivery of software development services, and in 1992, it established a Hong Kong office to serve the Pacific Rim.
1995 saw Kanbay establish what was to become its largest development center. From its new center in Pune (India)—equipped with a dedicated satellite link to North America—Kanbay could now further refine its multi-site approach to address complex issues of project management.
In August 1998, venture capital firm
Safeguard Scientifics, Inc. acquired an interest in Kanbay. That November, Kanbay established a Singapore office to expand its ability to serve the Pacific Rim market.
In April 1999, Kanbay established an Australia office in Melbourne, and in June established its UK office in Cambridge.
Growth at Kanbay has never lost steam. In October 1999, Kanbay acquired Megatec, a $15 million Melbourne, Australia-based eBusiness products and solutions firm.
Partnering for success took on a new meaning when in 2000 Morgan Stanley and Household International acquired an equity interest in Kanbay.
In June 2001, Kanbay announced its ISO 9001 certification and in September it established an office in Tokyo. The year ended on a winning note, with Kanbay inaugurating its state-of-the-art technology center in Pune, India in October 2001.
Kanbay's India operation expanded to Hyderabad in 2003. In the same year, it achieved its first CMM Level 5 certification for project work. In 2004, Kanbay received one of the first global assessments for CMM Level 5 which validates its global development approach and methodologies, ensuring the Kanbay global experience is the same regardless of region.
2004 also brought two Kanbay milestones. It opened the year by celebrating its 15 year anniversary, and in July, Kanbay International became a publicly traded company, listing on the NASDAQ under the symbol KBAY.
In early 2005, the company acquired Accurum, an IT services provider to the capital markets industry. On August 3, 2005 the company celebrated its one year anniversary as a public company by ringing the NASDAQ bell to open trading.
Kanbay is a global systems integrator providing solutions to the insurance, banking, lending, credit card, and capital markets industries. With corporate offices in Rosemont, Illinois, Kanbay has 14 locations throughout the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, and India.
