The technique was first developed in 1995 by the team at Jumbo
Corporation (led by Mike Veverka and Xavier Bergade). At the time (and
still today), the cost of other e-commerce enabled products was well out
of reach to most budding web entrepreneurs. Because of security concerns
(money is involved with each sale!), store builders had to build and
maintain their own secure web server and all the software to operate
their store.
A shared system was required to bring the costs down. The Jumbostore
team began development in 1995 on a system that would be fully secure
and offer a high level of flexibility to web developers (with an easy to
use web-based wizard). The result is what you see here right now.
The Jumbostore team is part of the Jumbo Corporation Ltd, a publicly
listed company in Australia and Germany. The company has associations
with many banks, credit card systems, package delivery companies and
e-commerce companies around the world.
