History
BridgeHead Software was founded in 1994 by Charles "Tony" Cotterill,[6] its current Chief Product Officer. The name BridgeHead derives from his intention to provide a bridgehead, or beachhead, for US companies wishing to expand into Europe. BridgeHead started selling proprietary software when it acquired a team of software developers from the now defunct Multistream Systems Ltd in 1999.[citation needed]
