ZedaSoft, Inc. / RIVA Technologies, Inc. ZedaSoft spun off from RIVA Technologies in 2000 to focus exclusively on the simulation and visualization marketplace. RIVA has been providing simulation software development since its inception in 1993 for companies such as Lockheed Martin, Raytheon Training, Federal Aviation Administration, Silicon Graphics and SportSimulation, Inc. In 1996 RIVA also began producing interactive learning products on CDROM and web based testing products to the commercial markets. These products have become very successful and represent the state-of-the art in the web based e-learning industry. Based on this success, it was important for RIVA to focus on these products, but at the same time make sure focus and attention was applied in continuing its support for the simulation software clients it developed. In response to this need, ZedaSoft was spun off as a separate company to serve this marketplace and provide dedicated resources to its clientele. Though many of the technical resources still exchange technologies and ideas between the companies, the management focus for each company is dedicated to serving their specific industry.
