CodeGear is being integrated into Embarcadero Technologies, which will continue to operate as a private company under the leadership of current Embarcadero CEO Wayne Williams. As a result of this acquisition, Embarcadero is expected to operate with more than $100 million in annual revenue and over 500 employees worldwide.

Embarcadero will support CodeGear's customers and partners and will evolve and deepen the functionality of CodeGear's existing product lines. Embarcadero's professional database tools will be marketed under the DatabaseGear™ brand, and its application developer tools will be encompassed under the CodeGear™ brand. "Given the synergistic talent and technologies, we anticipate a successful integration process that quickly leverages CodeGear's strengths and results in a powerful, unified organization," added Holden Spaht, principal of Thoma Cressey Bravo.
