Historical Note

Applied Data Research (ADR) was founded in 1959 by seven former UNIVAC I programmers: Martin Goetz, Sherman Blumenthal, Ellwood Kauffman, Dave McFadden, Bernard Riskin, Robert Wickenden, and Stephen Wright. Headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey, the company provided independent contract programming to companies including RCA, Bendix, and Sperry Rand, as well as to the United States government.

In 1965, ADR established its Proprietary Software Division (renamed the Software Products Division in 1973) and released AUTOFLOW, an automatic computer documentation system which produced flow charts. With the release of AUTOFLOW, ADR became the first company to sell a software product commercially, independent of hardware. Martin A. Goetz headed the Proprietary Software Division from its inception and in 1968 was awarded the first U.S. patent for a software computer program for his "Sorting System." Although the patent was assigned to ADR, the program was never developed as an ADR product. Goetz received a second patent in 1970 for his "Automatic System for Constructing and Recording Display Charts," the computer program behind the ADR product AUTOFLOW. Other ADR software products included Vollie (an online programming tool), ROSCOE (Remote OS Conversational Operating Environment, an online programming tool with a timeshare facility), MetaCOBOL (a COBOL programming aid), Librarian (a source program retrieval and maintenance system), and IDEAL (Interactive Development Environment for an Application Life-cycle, an application development tool).

ADR filed a civil antitrust suit against International Business Machines (IBM) in April 1969, accusing IBM of limiting competition in the computer industry and specifically noting IBM's bundling practices. The ADR suit was one of a series of similar suits filed against IBM in 1968 and 1969, including Programmatics, Inc. (a subsidiary of ADR) v. IBM, Control Data Corporation v. IBM, and Data Processing Financial & General Corp. v. IBM. These four cases were consolidated for pre-trial proceedings and discovery in the District of Minnesota in July 1969. One year later, ADR was awarded a temporary restraining order against IBM which prohibited IBM from offering free distribution of CRJE, a bundled IBM software product in direct competition with ADR's proprietary product ROSCOE. Three of the four consolidated cases were eventually settled and dismissed, including ADR v. IBM, which was settled out-of-court in August 1970 for two million dollars. The U.S. Justice Department also filed suit against IBM for antitrust violations in 1969, starting a case that lasted thirteen years. In June 1969, while involved in these cases, IBM announced that, with the exception of its operating systems, starting in January 1970 it would unbundle its software from its hardware.

Ameritech acquired ADR as a wholly owned subsidiary in 1986. In 1988, Computer Associates purchased ADR and integrated the company into its Systems Products Division and new Information Products Division.

Collection Scope and Content Note

The Applied Data Research (ADR) Software Products Division Records consist of company records and subject materials accumulated by Martin A. Goetz during his twenty-eight year (1959-1987) career with the company. Researchers should note that these materials do not constitute the official corporate records of Applied Data Research or the Software Products Division. Rather, the records reflect Goetz's activities and interests in his various official capacities as senior programmer and project manager, senior vice president and chief technology officer, president of ADR, and most specifically, director of the Software Products Division, a role he held for the bulk of his tenure at ADR. Researchers should use the ADR Software Products Division Records in tandem with the personal papers of Martin A Goetz (CBI 159).

The collection documents the Software Products Division's involvement in the development of the software industry, its activities relating to patent and copyright protections for software, separate pricing for software and hardware, bundling, antitrust issues, and relations with IBM.

Goetz filed his ADR Software Product Division materials by subject, according to his current needs and interests, many of which overlapped or coincided with one another. CBI has grouped the papers into ten series reflecting the company's business functions, as well as Goetz's activities in his capacity as an ADR executive. Series include: Annual Reports, Legal, Management, Marketing, Organizational Charts, Patents, Presentations by Martin Goetz, Products, Sales, and Alphabetical Files. However, researchers should note that Goetz's original arrangement of the files remains to some extent intact. This is most evident in the patent materials and the alphabetical files. Therefore, for example, files titled "Dann v. Johnston" or "Computation Planning, Inc." cover a range of years and include a variety of record types, including correspondence, memoranda, reports, notes, and published documents, which may have significance for other topics as well.
