New Boundary Technologies Celebrates 40 Years of Innovation and Impact
Minneapolis – April 1, 2025 – This year marks a major milestone for New Boundary Technologies as the company celebrates 40 years of making complex technologies simple. What began in the warmth of a Minnesota basement in 1985 has grown into a global innovator that delivers cutting-edge solutions across scientific research, IT automation, cloud computing, IoT, and AI-powered analytics.
“We’ve seen waves of technology and market changes over the last 40 years”, said Kim Pearson, CEO and founder of New Boundary Technologies. “Our steadfast mission of innovating software solutions that make complex emerging technologies simple has improved the lives of thousands of customers.”
A Mission Born in the Cold
Unlike the typical garage startup, the New Boundary Technologies origin story started underground—literally. In a Minnesota basement during a brutal winter, the company’s founder envisioned making complex technology accessible and practical. That vision remains the company’s guiding principle four decades later.
1980s: IBM PC Software for Scientific Research
During the dawn of the PC revolution, New Boundary Technologies developed breakthrough software for scientific discovery:

1990s: Pioneers of the Modern IT Era
