===Inprise Corporation era===
In April 1998, Borland International, Inc. announced it had become Inprise Corporation.<ref>{{Cite press release |author=<!-- Unstated --> |url=http://www.borland.com/about/press/1998/strategy.html |title=Borland Becomes Inprise Corporation; New Company to Champion Next Wave in Enterprise Computing – Inprise Will Help Corporate Customers Develop, Deploy, and Manage Next Generation of Distributed Enterprise Applications |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20001018125734/http://www.borland.com/about/press/1998/strategy.html |archive-date=2000-10-18 |access-date=2020-03-05}}</ref>

For several years, before and during the Inprise name, Borland suffered from serious financial losses and poor public image. When the name was changed to Inprise, many thought Borland had gone out of business. In March 1999, dBASE was sold to KSoft, Inc. which was soon renamed dBASE Inc. (In 2004 dBASE Inc. was renamed to DataBased Intelligence, Inc.).

In 1999, Dale L. Fuller replaced Yocam. At this time Fuller's title was "interim president and CEO". The "interim" was dropped in December 2000. [[Keith Gottfried]] served in senior executive positions with the company from 2000 to 2004.

A proposed merger between Inprise and Corel was announced in February 2000, aimed at producing [[Linux]]-based products. The plan was abandoned when Corel's shares fell and it became clear that there was no strategic fit.

[[InterBase]] 6.0 was made available as [[open-source software]] in July 2000.

In November 2000, Inprise Corporation announced the company intended to officially change its name to Borland Software Corporation. The legal name of the company would continue to be Inprise Corporation until the completion of the renaming process during the first quarter of 2001. Once the name change was completed, the company would also expect to change its Nasdaq market symbol from "INPR" to "BORL".<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.borland.com/news/press_releases/2000/11_14_00_name_change.html |title=Inprise Corporation Plans to Change its Name to Borland Software Corporation |access-date=2004-12-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041212043033/http://www.borland.com/news/press_releases/2000/11_14_00_name_change.html |archive-date=2004-12-12 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
