We are a Stockholm-based company with a branch in Gävle – because why not have a second home where the air is fresh and the coffee strong?
The founders and tech team behind Ghost Labs and Ghost Nodes go way back — so far back that our shared history could probably fill a decent-sized novel.
With over 120 years of combined experience in integration and change management, we can confidently say that few 5-year-old companies have this much wisdom packed into their team.
The Ghost journey
Late 1990s
From C-Talk to Biztalk
In the late 1990s, several team members were involved in developing C-Talk, which would later become a huge inspiration for Microsoft when developing BizTalk.
Early 2000s
From BizTalk to iBridge
In the early 2000s, one of our Senior Advisors was elected to Microsoft Advisory Board and personally received an award from Bill Gates for the successes achieved with C-talk. However, by the following year, the tech team behind C-talk realised that a centralized architecture like BizTalk had its limitations. In response, they developed a distributed version of BizTalk, called iBridge, which earned them first prize in Microsoft .net Awards.
2013
Think tank – Duqtor
In 2013, the future founders of Ghost Labs launched the think tank Duqtor in collaboration with Stockholm University and KTH (Royal Institute of Technology), focusing on applied research in digital strategies. More than 30 Swedish CIOs from companies such as Vattenfall, Ericsson, SAAB, SSAB, SECO Tools, and Atlas Copco joined the think tank, where integration was identified as the most critical capability for improving IT and business.
2019
From BizTalk and iBridge to Ghost Nodes
Research and development were initiated, and in 2019, Ghost Labs was founded. Since then, intensive development and refinement of a decentralized solution have taken place, culminating in what we now call Ghost Nodes — maybe the smartest integration architecture in the world!
2021
Microsoft & Google ISV Partner
In 2021, Ghost Labs and Ghost Nodes were approved as both Microsoft and Google ISV Partner. Ghost Nodes are now easily accessible on both the MS Azure Marketplace and Google.
