History
Arena Solutions was co-founded by Michael Topolovac and Eric Larkin in February 2000. The company was originally named bom.com, reflecting the Bill of Materials (BOM) as the central framework for organizing product data and the Internet (.com) as delivery model.
Topolovac and Larkin previously worked together at Light and Motion Industries, a manufacturer of underwater video, photo and lighting products founded by Topolovac in the 1990s. At LMI, they developed their own custom application to run the design and manufacturing aspects of their business, which became the prototype for Arena.
