Akana is a provider of computer software products for application programming interface (API) management. The company was founded as Digital Evolution and was later known as SOA Software. In November 2016, Akana was acquired by Rogue Wave Software.[1] In January 2019, Rogue Wave was acquired by Minneapolis-based application software developer Perforce.[2]

History

Akana was founded in 2001 as Digital Evolution.[citation needed]

In September 2004, the company acquired enterprise SOA company Flamenco Networks.[3]

In March 2005, the company changed its name to SOA Software.[4] In December, the company bought an internal mainframe web services product called X4ML from Merrill Lynch. The product was renamed SOLA.[4]

In May 2006, the company acquired Blue Titan, a web services networking company.[5]

In May 2008, the company acquired LogicLibrary, an SOA Repository and Governance vendor.[6]

In March 2015, the company changed its name to Akana, as the company expanded its product line away from its SOA and web services roots and into API management.[7]

In November 2016, Louisville, Colorado-based software development company Rogue Wave Software acquired Akana.[8]

In January 2019, Rogue Wave was acquired by Minneapolis-based application software developer Perforce.[2]
