About

Critical Path was a global provider of messaging infrastructure services, partnering with mobile operators, telecommunications companies, ISPs, and enterprises to deliver email, SMS, and unified communications solutions at scale. Founded in San Francisco in 1997, the company grew into a publicly traded messaging leader before being taken private following financial difficulties in the early 2000s. It later merged with Mirapoint in 2010 to expand its enterprise email capabilities, and was ultimately acquired by Openwave Messaging in December 2013, which expanded the combined user base to approximately 400 million.
