Decision Data Computer Corporation’s history reaches from keypunch machines and card-related equipment to its System 4 computer, tested for small-business buyers in Philadelphia. That evolution captures a turning point when offices began combining specialized devices with more compact, disk-based systems. This foldable mobile phone display stand pairs a present-day everyday use with a story from the early business-computing era. It is a fitting keepsake for collectors interested in the companies, equipment, and changing ideas that helped bring computing into more workplaces.
Founded in Horsham, Pennsylvania, in 1969 by Loren A. Schultz, Decision Data Computer Corporation first made keypunch machines and related equipment. From 1974 to 1976, it broadened its offerings to include card readers, paper-tape converters, memory boards, keyboards, and line printers for IBM systems. After a sales decline in 1975, the company test-marketed its own System 4 computer in Philadelphia. Initially commissioned and co-designed by UNIVAC Sperry Rand, it used an Intel 8080 processor and was aimed at small businesses and buyers seeking a disk-based minicomputer. Production increased in 1977, although market growth was slower than expected. The company went public by 1975 and recorded a revenue high in 1978. In 1976, it formed a service and supplies division that later became DecisionOne. Shareholders approved the name Decision Industries Corporation in April 1986; acquisitions followed that year. After Onset Corporation acquired it in a 1988 leveraged buyout, the division became Decision Data Inc. In 1992, it acquired the remnants of Qantel Corporation. By the end of the decade, Decision Data Inc. had been purchased by another company for $200 million.
