Gensym

The corporation

I drifted out of touch with Gensym for many years. In 2012, though, it again deserves attention. It has been re-organized as a business, as its professional webcasts including "Welcome Back" explain, and appears to have identified a sustainable niche for itself. It's still tedious to get pricing information from the company, and its Web site is frustratingly impoverished.

Gensym belongs to the right industry consortia, including even OMG.
