Dun & Bradstreet Software Services, often shortened to D&B Software, was an American computer software company formed by the merger of the Management Science America and McCormack & Dodge companies in June 1990, under the ownership of the Dun & Bradstreet corporation.[1] In 1982, McCormack & Dodge was described by The New York Times as "one of the nation's top three financial software concerns."[2]
History
Management Science America was founded in Atlanta, Georgia, and grew to be one of the largest mainframe software vendors under CEO John Imlay, who joined in 1970.[3][4]
After the June 1990 merger, the separate company headquarters of MSA and McCormack & Dodge, located in Massachusetts and Atlanta, respectively, were retained, with videoconferencing used for communication.[5] Originally, the merged company was a supplier of financial packages that ran on mainframe computers. In 1991, they released the client-server middleware application suite named SmartStream[6] that ran on HP-UX.[7] Smartstream 3.0 was introduced in early 1995.[8]
Geac
In 1996, D&B Software was acquired for US$150 million by the Canadian client-server application firm Geac Computer Corporation, who immediately split the services into two divisions.[9]
