"RealThinClient" is a small privately held company from Germany, with main focus on Delphi components development, marketing and customer support. It was founded by Danijel Tkalcec in November 2004, when development of "RealThinClient" components has started. In May 2005, after more than six months of intensive development and testing, the first "RealThinClient" components were released to the public (later renamed to "RealThinClient SDK"). As the "RealThinClient SDK" was actively developed and improved over the years, it has grown into a very robust, flexible and feature rich component set, gaining the confidence of many companies and individuals who are now using the RealThinClient SDK for all their remoting tasks.

For more information on the RealThinClient SDK, please check our Products page.

With positive development of the "RealThinClient SDK" and the company altogether, in January 2007 we have started working on a new product for Remote Customer Support, which would implement Remote Desktop View/Control, File Transfer and Chat by using the RealThinClient SDK for communication, allowing data to pass through firewalls and proxy servers, without having to reconfigure anything.

After months of research, development and testing, the first public version of this new product (then called "RTC Portal") was released in July 2007. In its initial release, it was only a set of Projects with Forms and Data Modules in Delphi, using the "RealThinClient SDK" for communication. Later in December 2007, all the required code from Delphi Forms and Data Modules was moved into components which would install into the Delphi component palette, allowing developers to drop them on their own Forms and Data Modules to compile remote support functionality into their own Applications.

This new product was well received within the community and sales started to increase and never stopped. As a consequence of the ever growing customer base, the time needed for support grew and it became clear that RTC will need to either grow with the product or team up with a larger company to ensure the same level of support, to further develop the product and to make sure that existing customers will be getting the best for their subscription. After talking to some well-known Delphi component vendors, on June 23rd 2009 we have reached an agreement with Nexus Database Systems (www.nexusdb.com) to join forces and release Nexus Portal, the leading remote customer support framework for Delphi and C++Builder developers available on the market today.

We have applied for the Borland Technology Partnership in December 2005 and have been accepted as a Borland Technology Partner on February 9th 2006. Borland Technology Partners (BTPs) are developers that use and support the latest versions of Borland products, actively marketing their products through trade advertising and the World Wide Web. After CodeGear (former Borland Developer Tools Group) was separated from Borland, we became a CodeGear Technology Partner. And after Embarcadero took over CodeGear, we became Embarcadero Technology Partners.

Being the Embarcadero Technology Partner allows us to work closely with Embarcadero to make sure that the latest version of all our components can be used with the latest versions of RAD Studio, Delphi and C++Builder Development Tools from Embarcadero.
