A narrative history of one of IBM's most illustrious and secretive
organizations -- IBM's Federal Systems Division -- that protected
America, helped NASA put men on the moon, and spawned such
technology as today's Internet, ATM transactions, ebay operations
and online banking. Included in the book are space-age computer and
weapons systems details never before shown to the public. Federal
Systems developed such things as a dispatch system for New York
City's police force, international banking systems in the UK, Japan
and other countries, and a special operations system for the New
York Stock Exchange. This is the first book ever written about this
semi-clandestine organization operating under the IBM umbrella that
supported NASA's projects from Project Mercury to Space Shuttles
and Skylab. Federal Systems was also a major part of the
development of modern weapons technology. Each chapter of the book
focuses on one aspect of Federal Systems' 50-year history of
service to the government. The organization changed hands during an
IBM selloff in the early 1990s to Loral Corporation, which in turn
sold it to Lockheed Martin in 1996.
