     the enterprise

Borland was established by Philippe Kahn in 1983 to develop niche software products but came to grief after an unsuccessful strategy, from 1986 onwards, of competing with Microsoft as a diversified provider of application software: initially the Quattro Pro spreadsheet, then a wordprocessor and (in 1991) acquisition of database competitor Ashton-Tate. The rest, as they say, is history.
