Extend, Inc. is a California corporation established in April 1993, specializing in software development services for companies in the United States.

The company was founded by Paul Ling and Lorraine Ling, both of whom hold BA degrees in Computer Science from UC Berkeley. Paul Ling, the CEO, hails from Guangzhou, China, and moved to the United States in 1979.

Ling's involvement in developing components for Microsoft Outlook98 and 2000 is particularly noteworthy. His pivotal role extends to the establishment of the Guangzhou, China office in 2001, where he personally oversaw the training of software developers in line with US software development standards.
