NuMega Technologies (also known as NuMega), was a software company founded in 1987 by Frank Grossman and Jim Moskun in Nashua, New Hampshire. The company developed a Kernel mode debugger, now SoftICE, for MS-DOS and the Windows NT family.[1]
In 1995, the company acquired the Marquis Computing, Inc. assets VB/CodeReview and VB/FailSafe,[2] and hired its president, Hank Marquis to manage NuMega Visual Basic products.[3]
In December 1997, the company was acquired by Compuware, when it became NuMega Labs of Compuware.[4] Less than a year after moving to Merrimack, the development lab was effectively shut down on 11 June 2007.[5] In June 2009, Compuware sold the former NuMega products, the intellectual property and transferred the remaining staff to a UK-based firm named Micro Focus.[6]
Mark Russinovich, a software developer who now serves as CTO of Microsoft Azure, started his career at NuMega.[1]
Hank Marquis, who served as a Leadership Partner at Gartner, joined Numega with the acquisition of Marquis Computing Inc.[7]
