Cape Clear Software, Inc., was a vendor of ESB (Enterprise service bus) software, founded in 1999.

Cape Clear was a spin-off from IONA Technologies.[1] and was a privately held firm with headquarters in San Mateo, California, US, and offices in Atlanta, Chicago, Denver and Waltham, US; Dublin, Ireland; and London, UK.

In November 2000, Cape Clear acquired Orbware[2][3][4] a privately held UK-based software company founded in 1999 who were a Java EE licensee and whose OrCAS Enterprise Server product was a compact and high-performance implementation of the Enterprise JavaBean (EJB) and Java EE specifications.

Cape Clear made a final release of the OrCAS J2EE server product in February 2001[5] before the OrCAS product was merged with Cape Clear's CapeConnect XML integration server product. The combined product was named CapeConnect and was first released in April 2001 (Beta Release)[6] and May 2001 (Full Release)[7]

Cape Clear was identified as one of the leading ESB vendors by Forrester Research in July 2006.[8][9]

On 2008-02-06, Workday, Inc announced that it had reached a definitive agreement to purchase Cape Clear.[10][11]
