The SISCAL service was developed between 2001 and 2004 in the frame of a
research & development project supported by the European Commission
through the Information Society Technologies (IST) program under
contract IST-2000-28187.
After the end of project funding in December 2004, SISCAL is now operated on a commercial basis by two members of the former SISCAL consortium: Informus GmbH, Germany and IOLR Ltd, Israel.
