Atlantic Software, Inc.
Year Founded:

Walter Brown
Richard Thatcher
Location:
Philadelphia, PA
Description:
Atlantic Software was founded with the intent of repackaging and marketing
software developed by others. The original plan to have an extensive list of
software packages covering a wide range of applications turned out to be impractical and
the founders changed their strategy to focus on a limited number of thoroughly tested
products including Score, a report generator, and PC/70, a project management system.
The firm developed a specialty in project management software and consulting and
was sold to AGS Computers in the mid-1970s.
