Minicomputer Software Workshop : session 2 - DEC-DG Business Growth
This workshop explored various ways in which small software and services companies who served the minicomputer market started their businesses. There were a variety of business models ranging from being focused on a particular application or utilities areas, to a specific vertical market, or to timesharing on one platform. In most cases the companies morphed into different areas by covering more platforms, adding software products, or becoming a VAR by selling hardware along with their applications. Later, there were various kinds of joint business ventures and then mergers and acquisitions.
