Since its inception in Paris in the early 1990s Open Seas has been supporting users of the HP3000 mini computer platform both with its own software and as a reseller for other software software titles.

Over the past 25 years that role has changed with times, especially with HP 'sun setting' the venerable HP3000. Our products like many, but by no means all, of our customers have migrated to Unix and windows platforms.
