Insyde Software was formed when it purchased the BIOS assets of SystemSoft Corporation in October, 1998. Initially
Insyde Software was a privately held company that included investment from Intel Pacific Inc., China Development Industrial Bank, Professional Computer Technology Limited, company management and selected employees. At that time, Insyde Software's management team consisted of Jeremy Wang, Chairman ; Jonathan Joseph, President ; Hansen Liou, the General Manager of Taiwan Operations and Asia-Pacific Sales, and Stephen Gentile, the Vice President of Marketing. Shortly after the initial investment, the company was introduced by Intel to a new BIOS coding architecture called EFI and the two companies began working together on it. In 2001, the two companies entered into a joint development agreement and Insyde’s first shipment of the technology occurred in October 2003 as InsydeH2O UEFI BIOS. Since that time, UEFI has become the mainstay of Insyde’s business.
On 23 January 2003, Insyde Software announced its initial public offering on the GreTai Securities Market based in Taipei, Taiwan.
