In April 2000, Embarcadero Technologies had its [[initial public offering]], and was listed on [[NASDAQ]] with the symbol EMBT.<ref>{{cite web |title=Prospectus |work=S-1/A |publisher=US Securities and Exchange Commission |date=April 19, 2000 |url=https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1107112/000091205700018645/0000912057-00-018645.txt |access-date=January 21, 2019}}</ref>

==Products==
{{More citations needed|section|date=March 2021}}

===Database products===

Until 2015, Embarcadero sold products like Rapid SQL and DB Artisan, and ER/Studio, and these products are now sold by its parent company directly, Idera.
Interbase, a lightweight database for desktop and mobile app development, remained an Embarcadero product in 2016.

===Application development===
In July 2008 Embarcadero acquired CodeGear from the [[Borland]] Software Corporation.<ref name="self" />

Codegear owned a number of application development products, and some that were still developed in 2016 were:

* [[Embarcadero Delphi|Delphi]] is a [[rapid application development]] (RAD) environment and object-oriented dialect of the [[Pascal (programming language)|Pascal]] programming language, developed from [[Turbo Pascal]]. Delphi runs on Microsoft Windows, and produces applications for Windows, Mac OS X, and iOS and Android portable devices.
* [[C++Builder]] is equivalent to Delphi, but is based on the [[C++]] programming language instead of Pascal, using the Delphi Visual Component Library and a native C++ compiler. Most components developed in Delphi can be used in C++Builder with no modification, although the reverse is not true.
* Embarcadero RAD Studio is a rapid application development package which includes Delphi and C++Builder for building native Windows, mobile and database applications.
* RadPHP was an [[integrated development environment]] (IDE) for the [[PHP|PHP programming language]]. It was discontinued in 2012.
