The Team at Xpace
Paul Sepe, President
Paul has been producing systems to manage and retrieve large volumes of data for nearly two decades. In the late 1980s, he was one of the founders of Dataware Technologies in Munich, which produced the first authoring and retrieval software for databases on CD-ROM. He left Dataware in 1996 to become a full-time consultant. His work since then includes the development of InPress, the engine behind Archi-Tech’s line of business intelligence and market research products for the pharmaceutical industry.
Paul is responsible for the direction of the company, and design and development of Xpace’s products. He works closely with technical advisors, business development, and marketing, to ensure timely production of market-ready products.

James Kearney, Principal Technical Advisor
Jim has specialized in information retrieval systems since being a member of the team that created the first true SQL engine on a microcomputer at Software Products International in the early 1980s. He went on to co-found Dataware Technologies, and led the project that created CD Author, Dataware’s core product, and led the development of one of the first XML database systems. Since then he has been involved in the design and implementation of a number of leading-edge storage and retrieval tools.
Jim works closely with Paul to guide our technology, and is responsible for the multi-platform framework that will make it accessible to the broadest possible range of customers.
