Prior to founding GeoSolutions, Mr. Harple was Founder, Chairman and CEO of Context Media, Inc., an enterprise software firm he founded in 1999.  Context Media was acquired by Oracle Corporation in 2005, forming the basis for Oracle’s Enterprise Content Integration platform. Previously, in 1997, Mr. Harple’s efforts centered on media research in a new company, Context Labs, which he co-founded with Artist and Producer Todd Rundgren.  Prior to this, he pioneered key Internet media and collaboration technologies as a Senior Vice President at Netscape Communications and as Co-Founder & CEO of InSoft, which merged with Netscape in 1996. This merger introduced several "firsts" to the Internet, including the first streaming media system;  Netscape Media Server; the first Internet telephony technology – Netscape Conference; and the first media developers’ platform – Netscape LiveMedia. Mr. Harple and his team also spearheaded the development of Netscape LiveAudio and LiveVideo technology and the creation of several major Internet standards, including the Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP). These technologies provide the foundation for the way multimedia and real-time interactive communications are utilized on the Internet and opened the door for the convergence of the Internet and traditional telephony services.
