Integrated Computer Solutions, Inc. (ICS) is a computer software company headquartered in Waltham, MA. They provide Graphic User Interface (GUI) development tools and professional services for UNIX, Linux, Mac OS X and Windows platforms.

Qt Now Licensed Under LGPL

ICS provides professional services and training for Qt. They have a free whitepaper which discusses the Implications for Commercial and Government Users of Qt under the LGPL license.

ICS was founded in 1987 to provide professional services and training, and to produce a trade show called Xhibition based on the then up and coming X Window System.

In 1989, ICS began selling its first software product, OSF/Motif — a toolkit developed by an industry consortium called the Open Software Foundation (OSF). ICS enhanced and repackaged the toolkit to sell directly to developers and development organizations. In 1990, ICS released its first internally developed product — Builder Xcessory (BX). This tool was sold to UNIX software developers to help them create Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) for their applications.

In 2004, ICS acquired CenterLine Systems, which provides C/C++ code maintenance and object-oriented programming environments.

In 2005, ICS acquired UIM/X from Bluestone Consulting. ICS provides on-going technical support, product upgrades, and new licenses to the thousands of UIM/X users worldwide. ICS has also migrated the product to the Linux platform.

Recently ICS acquired Project.net, an open source, enterprise scale, project management suite.

Today, in addition to its continued development and support of its Motif based products, ICS is an independent supplier of add-on products, services, consulting, and training for Qt, the cross-platform framework developed by Trolltech, now renamed Qt Software and part of Nokia Corporation.
