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.
