MDS Lavastorm Analytics was initially started in 1993 by a group of engineers from MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) focusing on internet application development.
In 2000 they started to specialize in providing revenue assurance and inter-carrier cost management analytics solutions to the telecoms industry. In 2005, Martin Dawes Systems (MDS) a leading provider of Billing and CRM solutions acquired Lavastorm Technologies and in 2006 also acquired Swedish software vendor Visual Wireless, who brought additional revenue assurance and fraud management capability into what is now MDS Lavastorm Analytics.
