History

The company was founded in 1981 by Joseph Larson, who also served as the company's first president.[6] Doug Burgum, a future governor of North Dakota and U.S. presidential candidate, joined the company in March 1983 as a shareholder.[6] He provided seed capital for the company and bought out the other investors in early 1984 and became its new president.[7] Larson continued to serve as a director for the company until its acquisition.[6]

The company grew to about 170 employees by 1987,[8] and to around 290 employees by 1989.[9] It received about $300 million in annual sales and a 1997 IPO, after using the Internet to help it expand beyond North Dakota.[10] In 1999 the company acquired Match Data Systems, a development team in the Philippines.[11] In 2000, after the company experienced several layoffs, it was acquired by Microsoft for $1.1 billion.[12] The full purchase was completed in 2001.[2] Its products continue to be offered as Microsoft Dynamics GP.[5][13]
