D&B Software

D&B Software (Dun & Bradstreet Software Services) 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] The separate company headquarters, located in Massachusetts and Atlanta, were retained with videoconferencing used for communication.[2] 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 that ran on HP-UX.[3] In 1996, D&B Software was acquired by the Canadian client-server application firm Geac Computer Corporation for US$150 million, who immediately split the services into two divisions.[4]
