History
Wily was founded in 1998 by Lew Cirne. The Wily name comes from Cirne's previous experiences in the development and marketing of advanced technologies, where the most impressive and valuable were referred to affectionately as "wily technology." Cirne chose the Wily name to embody the creative and aggressive approach to the company's products and business culture. According to Cirne, "it was in the very early days of Web 1.0, and this technology called Java was used to build most of the Web sites in the world, and Web applications in the world. And Wily created a category called ‘application performance management’."{{cite web |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucerogers/2017/06/14/ceo-coder-lew-cirne-created-new-relic-to-measure-software-code-performance/#7ca31e1f7d19 |title=CEO Coder Lew Cirne Created New Relic To Measure Software Code Performance |last=Rogers |first=Bruce |date= |work=Forbes |access-date=March 18, 2019}} It was founded in Brisbane, California.{{cite web |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2006-jan-06-fi-calbriefs6.3-story.html |title=CA to Pay $375 Million in Cash for Wily Tech |date=January 6, 2006 |website=Los Angeles Times |access-date=March 18, 2019}}
