Dun & Bradstreet Software Services, often shortened to D&B Software, was 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]
Overview
[edit | edit source]After the merger, the separate company headquarters, located in Massachusetts and Atlanta, were retained with videoconferencing used for communication.[3] 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[4] that ran on HP-UX.[5] Smartstream 3.0 was introduced in early 1995.[6]
Geac
[edit | edit source]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.[7]
