== History ==
Founded in 1978 by Phillip T. (Terry) Ragon, who remains its CEO.
InterSystems was one of the original vendors of M-technology (aka [[MUMPS]]) systems, with a product called ISM. Over the years, InterSystems acquired several other MUMPS implementations: DTM from [[Data Tree]] (1993); DSM from [[Digital Equipment Corporation|Digital]] (1995); and MSM from [[Micronetics]] (1998); making InterSystems the dominant M technology vendor. InterSystems eventually started combining features from these products into one they called OpenM.
InterSystems launched [[Caché (software)|Caché]] in 1997. At that time they stopped new development for all of their legacy M-based products (although the company stills supports existing customers who use them).
InterSystems launched Ensemble in 2003.
HealthShare was launched in 2006.
In 2007, InterSystems purchased [[Trak Health]], an Australian vendor of TrakCare, a modular healthcare information system that is based on InterSystems’ technology.
