Platinum Technology International was founded to market and support software products and render related services. The company was also involved with a group known as the UML Partners in the development of UML, or Unified Modeling Language. It acquired several notable companies, including Protosoft and ICON Computing.

In May 1999, Platinum was itself acquired by Computer Associates (CA) for 3.5 billion U.S. dollars. In 2001, CA was sued by the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), alleging that the two companies prematurely reduced competition between each other. The DOJ claimed that this was achieved by agreeing to limit discounts offered to customers before the deal was completed.
