Interesting, but I can't find a cite

Tetra, the UK accounting company acquired by Sage Group has its roots as the creators of the accounting software for a company in Feltham whose name I will recall once I've saved this. The original accounts package was written to run on a Jacquard J100 Videocomputer deployed by that company. From small acorns grow large corporations. Tetra and Sage were neck and neck at one point in the UK accountancy software market.

Tetra was, at the time, Messrs Cooke and Dowling, who pulled off what was then quite a coup by getting the UK Jacquard sales team to sell Tetraplan with the hardware.

This is a notable fact, but I cant find, yet, a source to verify it. Without Jacquard Tetra would not have existed. WIthout Tetra Sage would not be in its current form.

In 1979 Jacquard had the same turnover as Wang Laboratories, and they were head to head as serious rivals. One failed, the other thrived for several amore years

I've a good knowledge of AM Jacquard because I worked for them in 1979, but I cant find easily the material I need to add these facts to the article with citations. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 19:50, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Gordian Strapping! That was the name of the company in Feltham! Fiddle Faddle (talk) 20:47, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
