Product history
Mirth Connect began as "Mirth," developed by WebReach, Inc., with its first public open-source release on SourceForge on July 18, 2006.[1] By April 2009, popularity of the commercial version of the open-source project had grown significantly enough to warrant a change in company name and product, to Mirth Corporation and Mirth Connect respectively.[4][5] By 2010 the company began moving its content from SourceForge to its own company website.
