About Iceberg

Iceberg is a Dublin, Ireland, company founded by Wayne and Robert Byrne (no relation). The developers formed a company after high school and began developing Iceberg out of frustration with the state of software. Now when you plan an application it’s done, and done better – iceberg adds enterprise features like scheduling, workflow and tracking automatically.
Our mission is to create a language of intelligence by empowering everyone to turn their knowledge and requirements into living applications.

Danial over at venturebeat wrote a great article on Iceberg and would it could mean for BIG SOFTWARE.

You find the article here

I’d like to thank Daniel for taking the time to look under the hood and really get to grips with what Iceberg is all about and what makes it different.

It’s really great to see a blogger going FAR beyond the call of duty

This week in the build up to lauch we took a little break to declare war on software again, this time in the Sunday Busines Post an Irish business newspaper.

The article was really interesting and we had a lot of fun with the photo shoot. Ironically the article in the end didnt mention the declaration of war which may have left people wondering why we were done up in camo paint But I think this will get people talking even more which of course is what we want.

I’d like to thank the Sunday Business Post for the article and the fun pictures.

Heres the article..

After much internal development and beta testing we have finally chosen an official launch date.

Although Iceberg has been available for specific projects for a number of months this will be the first time people interested in building applications can download Iceberg and try it on their own machines.

So come join us on April the 28th for our launch and Get Iceberg!

The Iceberg Approaches - Iceberg on Demand offers a completely web-based platform for building, sharing, and even selling business-oriented applications. I had a demo of their drag-and-drop designer and speed of UI building the other day and it’s looking promising.
