Talk: Control Data Corporation

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

I would like to know if Control Data Corporation is Alive today. Thanks Jocax@usp.br

Yes. It is no longer called Control Data Corporation (August, 2003). Control Data Corporation changed its name twice in the 1990s. The first time, they changed to Control Data Systems. The second time, they changed to Syntegra, when Control Data Systems was bought out by British Telecommunications, PLC. Now, according to Babbage Institute, Control Data is operating as Syntegra.

Paul G.

I disagree; the brief answer definitely should be "no". CDC sold off some business units in the early 1990s, and the remainder in 1992 split into 2 parts, neither named "Control Data"-anything today, and neither manufacturing computers--the basis of CDC's fame. Although the reality is different from--and more complex than--the description above by "Paul G.", I've created a WikiWiki page at Control Data that should clear things up for readers arriving at this page with questions about the fate of CDC. --ClayPhipps209.165.11.48 23:06, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
