Valtari was founded in 1978 by Caphirian programmers Sarino Antellion and Călian Veschertio to develop software programs for the [[STM|ITM Blue]] personal computers. Its first operating system, ValtariumDOS (VDOS), was a commercial failure despite gaining international coverage for its advanced features. In 1981, Urcean executive Ronan Rentius joined Valtari as its first outside chief executive. Under his leadership, the company released the Valtari-1000, a custom ITM Blue machine that came with Valtari WorkSpaces, a suite of office productivity tools aimed at office professionals. The Valtari-1000 became a best seller and one of the first mass-produced microcomputers. The company went public in 1984 and achieved instant financial success. On August 19, 1988, Valtari announced the VID Framework, an alliance with [[Kiravia|Kiravian]] software company [[IXCO Digital]]. VID's purpose was to create a unified, open-source digital framework for software and hardware products and provide interoperability globally. The VID Framework revolutionized the tech industry, with other companies and developers quickly adopting it as a universal standard. In the early 1990s, Valtari - still under Rentius' leadership, experienced significant growth, thanks in part to its dominant position in the PC software market. In 1993, Valtari purchased Codicis, an e-book and audiobook distribution service. Over an 8 year span, the company went on an aggressive acquisition spree and purchased 11 additional companies. On 3 January 2006, Rentius resigned amid rumored misconduct allegations. | Valtari was founded in 1978 by Caphirian programmers Sarino Antellion and Călian Veschertio to develop software programs for the [[STM|ITM Blue]] personal computers.
