Company history edit

Lagan Technologies was first established in 1994 with the launch of its first product, Frontline[2] in 1998, a CRM solution designed to be technology-independent, with an open architecture, fast to implement and flexible to maintain.

Since 1999 Lagan's program, Frontline, was being adopted across the wider public sector in areas such as shared services and non-emergency call handling for police authorities.[3]

In 2006, Lagan acquired Peter Martin Associates (PMA), a leader in the development of human services software and the first to offer commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) collaborative case management and eligibility screening solutions.[4]

In 2007, Lagan Announced its first statewide deployment of Lagan Human Services with customer, Tennessee Department of Human Services, Adult Protective Services Division.

In 2009, released initial Cloud software offering Lagan OnDemand with customers that include: Bermuda;[5] Cobb County, GA,[6] and Pasadena, CA.[7] Lagan also launched Citizen Mobile Application to Promote Increased Citizen Engagement and Self Service.[8][9][10][11]

In 2010, Lagan entered the Australian market with Lagan Government CRM customer, Brisbane City Council.[12] Lagan was acquired by KANA Software in October 2010 and remains focused on the public sector.[13]
