About Infragistics
Dean Guida founded Infragistics in 1989 and the company has become a worldwide leader in providing tools to accelerate application design and development. He is the author of “When Grit Is Not Enough: An Entrepreneur’s Playbook for Taking Your Business to the Next Level”, based on his decades of experience navigating in an unforgiving marketplace.
More than two million developers use Infragistics software, and its client roster boasts 100 percent of the S&P 500, including Fidelity, Morgan Stanley, Exxon, Intuit, and Bank of America. Indigo.Design App Builder combines design and development collaboration on a single platform, and with their newest solutions, Reveal and Slingshot, Infragistics gives business users the latest advancements in self-service business intelligence and digital workplaces.
Infragistics’ core focus has always been on building software tools that empower developers and designers to create beautiful, high-performance applications. Change is constant in the software industry, especially in a sector that moves as fast as UI/UX development and SaaS enterprise technology. One of the recent challenges Infragistics has faced is the rapid evolution of development frameworks and user expectations. Keeping pace while maintaining performance, consistency, and innovation across multiple platforms isn’t easy. For example, when frameworks like Angular, React, and Blazor began dominating the front-end space, Infragistics had to rebuild entire UI component libraries from the ground up, making sure they met the new standards of performance, responsiveness, and accessibility.
The key to overcoming these challenges is the entire company’s willingness to shift and adapt to market changes. With every shift, they rebuilt their products from scratch to stay ahead. They didn’t just port features, they reimagined them for each new environment. That’s how flagship products like Infragistics Ultimate, Ignite UI, Indigo.Design, Reveal, App Builder and Slingshot came to life, each tailored to the latest development trends while solving real-world enterprise needs.
Infragistics has built a culture where team members are always learning, always experimenting, and are never afraid to pivot. Their strategies focus on AI, speed, design simplicity, business outcomes, and growth enablement. That’s what keeps the company moving forward, even in the face of disruption.
What sets Infragistics apart is a combination of deep technical expertise, beautiful design, and long-term independence. They’ve been around for three and a half decades, evolving with every major tech shift, and they’ve done it without taking outside funding. That means they are always been laser-focused on customer value, not investor pressure.
Over the past 35 years, Infragistics has adapted to the challenges of every major technology shift—from Windows desktop to web, mobile, and now cloud. All of the company’s products are designed to help teams collaborate better, build faster, and deliver exceptional user experiences and that is why they are deserving of a TechRound award.
