Corporate history
Hyland laid off about 1,000 people in April 2023.[2][3] This was described as 20% of company's workforce in 2023.[4] Prior to this layoff, in 2021, the company laid off 140 people in the United States while having added twice as many employees abroad.[5]
Founding
The company was founded in 1991 by Packy Hyland Jr. He created a program in BASIC and sold it to the Nacedah Bank to store reports on Optical disks to meet compliance requirements, while reducing time required to find documents. In January 1992, Packy Hyland hired Miguel Zubizarreta to create a commercial software product. Miguel Zubizarreta invented the OnBase product, a client server, windows 3.0 based, C++ object-oriented solution that used the Oracle relational database as a backend. This first version of OnBase was installed at the Necedah Bank, the Bank of St.Cloud and the Roseville Bank. The OnBase product was white-labeled and sold by most of the major core providers in the Banking Industry. By 2000, over 1000 banks had the OnBase system, which was the leading check processing solution in the community banking industry. Hyland started aggressively selling through regional resellers to local and state governments, universities, insurance companies and hospitals. Eventually Hyland integrated with Epic and Guidewire, establishing strong paths to markets with leading providers. [6]
