In early 2000, an ecommerce ASP company named Maestro Commerce was acquired by GoldMine. Ultimately iXchange renamed itself FrontRange Limited in 2000 and all three companies were rolled into a newly formed U.S. based corporation called FrontRange Solutions which was wholly owned by FrontRange Limited.
