Unify Corporation (otcbb|UFYC) is one of the early developers of database management systems and tools for database development. Unify was founded in 1980 and is headquartered in Sacramento, California. As of 2006, it employs 60 worldwide.

Unify was an early example of an accounting scandal. Reza Mikailli was the President and CEO of Unify from approximately April 1995 until June 2000 when he was placed on medical and then administrative leave. He was subsequently charged and convicted of 10 counts of security fraud and conspiracy charges, primarily for overstating the company's revenues [http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/can/press/2003/2003_11_20_mikailli.html] . Todd Wille took over as Unify's CEO, and helped prevent the company from filing bankruptcy.

In March 2006, Unify announced that it was being bought by technology holding company HALO Technology Holdings for a stock-only trade valued at an estimated $21m [http://investor.unify.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=113617&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=830862] . This deal, however, fell through and Unify acquired Gupta Technologies as part of a trade agreement.
