Company History


EXPLORER™ Software Solutions Ltd. was started in 1987 by John Pullar, Glenn Jones, and Andrew Clennett. The company is privately held.

The main objective of the company was, and still is, to provide a computerized property management solution to the oil and gas industry. Initially this solution was developed to run on an IBM System 36. In 1988, the entire application was redesigned to allow for integration with an IBM AS/400. Then, in 1991, a new initiative was scheduled to redesign and rewrite the propery management system using Micro Focus COBOL, allowing it to be run on UNIX and/or IBM AS/400 and to be operational on any SQL-compliant database. In 1993, EXPLORER™ redesigned the system one more time using PowerBuilder, this time making the software compatible with Microsoft Windows as well as any SQL-compliant database. This new solution—CS*EXPLORER©—was released in the fall of 1995.

EXPLORER™'s share of the market place has grown substantially over the years. Currently it services and supports over 200+ clients, making EXPLORER™ one of the largest suppliers of property management software in the Canadian oil and gas industry.
