Wiris was founded to share with the world a research project done at the BarcelonaTech.
We are Wiris, a software development company founded 20 years ago and headquartered in Barcelona with offices in Long Beach, California. We are currently more than 90 people doing what we like with deep knowledge in advanced technology and science.
Our goal is to continually develop advanced tools for the STEM fields by working with the most important productivity tools, used by education, scientific, and publishing communities. You can find us in different Learning Management Systems (LMS) such as Blackboard, Brightspace, Canvas or Moodle, and the most popular office suites like Google Workspace and Microsoft Office.
Our beginning
Wiris was founded to share with the world a research project done at the BarcelonaTech.
“The Wiris”
Our first project was released: Wiris Cas, aka The Wiris, an online-based computer algebra system.
Our product family grows
We released two new products: Wiris Editor, our web-based formula editor, and WirisQuizzes, our mathematical assessment tool. By then, we were just a small company with just 7 employees but our collaboration with academic institutions and publishing houses helped us grow our business.
Hello, LMSs
Blackboard and Brightspace, some of the most popular LMSs, included our equation editor as their default math editor, and our integrations continued growing into other well-known LMSs - Moodle, Canvas, Schoology - and HTML editors - CKEditor, TinyMCE, Froala.
Machine learning
Our formula (equation) editor incorporated the state of art technology directly from university research to enable handwritten-formula recognition.
MathType is here
Wiris acquired the American company Design Science and together, with our 20 employees, we relaunched Wiris Editor as MathType, which became the leading mathematical equation solution for desktop and web environments.
Hi, Google
Wiris forces continued growing, not only in employee number but also in products: MathType for Google Workspace was released.
We do not have a limit
From now on, and with a solid and determined will in making STEM people’s work more meaningful, we will continue to contribute to the world one field at a time.
Wiris Values and Mission are the operating system that powers the company. Our team dedication is the basis of our success. Working hard and having fun are a sign that we are doing the right things in the right way.
We want to leave our mark
We are brave and determined
We have the aspiration to transform
Wiris is a people business and as we grow as a company, it has become important that we live these underlying values, so that we have a common language and understanding of what defines us as an organization.
