Miran Dennerqvist:
– A potential customer called me some time in the year of 1997 and wondered if Flex could be run on the Internet. At that time, we were still using Windows, and we were just about to finish our first client-server system in the Windows environment. I believed that the whole thing was a misunderstanding from the customer’s side. But that wasn’t the case and I understood that this was the future, says Miran. Already the year after he and his co-workers had developed one of the first web portals within the branch.
