In Memoriam

C. Bradley Tashenberg

Founder, former President and CEO

As CEO and founder of Bradmark, C. Bradley Tashenberg was responsible for the technical vision and product strategy of the company for over forty years.

With over 40 years of experience in information and database technology, Mr. Tashenberg began his career in computer programming, which involved the design and development of many successful IT projects. Prior to starting Bradmark, he developed one of the first computerized election systems in the country; was part of a team that developed and marketed one of the most successful computer systems in the legal industry; developed his own programming language; developed a high performance network database system; and transformed the IT of a multinational corporation into a network of homogeneous, fully integrated systems.

After first starting Bradmark, Mr. Tashenberg developed its first flagship product, DBGeneral, which soon became the leading database utility product in the Hewlett Packard HP3000 market. More recently, he focused the company’s product development around its current flagship product, Surveillance DB, which was devised as an Enterprise monitoring product, capable of supporting an environment of heterogeneous databases through a unified, product architecture. Though the product was originally devised to monitor relational database environments, it is capable of monitoring just about any environment through the use of a rules-based structure.

Mr. Tashenberg received a Bachelor’s of Science in Mathematics with a minor in Physics from the State University of New York at Buffalo, and later participated in a Master’s program in Economics at the same university. He was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship in classical languages and admitted into a PhD program in Math, but chose instead to pursue a carrier in Information Technology. He authored two books on Distributed Data Processing that were published through the AMACOM division of American Management. He was a member of the American Mathematics Association, The New York Academy of Science, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science
