Corporation</b>. Their idea was to sell pre-packaged software to <a href="/wiki/Mainframe_computer" title="Mainframe computer">mainframe</a> users, which was at that time a new concept in an era when enterprises only used internally developed applications or the software that came bundled with the hardware.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Rather than write its own products, Cullinane approached IT (<a href="/wiki/Information_technology" title="Information technology">information technology</a>) departments (at that time called Data Processing departments) of major enterprises, particularly banks, to identify internally developed applications that he felt had potential to be productized and licensed to others. However, it proved difficult to sell these applications because most weren't generalized and supportable systems. As a result, the company decided to develop a source code management system, called <b>PLUS</b>, that competed with Pansophic's (Panvalet) and <a href="/wiki/Uccel" title="Uccel">UCC</a>'s products (UCC-1 tape management system, etc.). The first version of PLUS (which stood for <b>P</b>rogram <b>L</b>ibrary <b>U</b>pdate <b>S</b>ystem) required the use of magnetic tape devices, and was not competitive with the other, disk-based products. Although the company eventually responded with a disk-based version, called <b>PLUS-DA</b> (which stood for <b>D</b>irect <b>A</b>ccess, a common name for disks at the time) they did not become successful in this market. </p><p>The first breakthrough product was a report writer named <b>Culprit</b>, developed in-house by Gil Curtis and Anna Marie Thron, who had built the PHI payroll system. The product competed with <a href="/wiki/MARK_IV_(software)" title="MARK IV (software)">Mark IV</a> from <a href="/wiki/Informatics,_Inc." class="mw-redirect" title="Informatics, Inc.">Informatics, Inc.</a>, but was perceived as a late entry in the report writer category. </p><p>The company struggled with financial stability until it branded a variation of Culprit, <b>EDP Auditor,</b> which was nothing more than a second name for the same product with a collection of predefined reports, but more importantly, special services aimed at the new discipline of EDP (<a href="/wiki/Electronic_data_processing" title="Electronic data processing">electronic data processing</a>) Auditing including the first EDP Auditors User, special support to give auditors independence of data processing which was very important to them.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> What was remarkable is that many corporations licensed essentially identical products. This led to serendipitous prosperity for Cullinane. As EDP auditors developed knowledge about business systems and computers, they could invariably produce reports faster than slower-moving, internal IT departments. As a result, MIS (<a href="/wiki/Management_information_systems" class="mw-redirect" title="Management information systems">management information systems</a>) departments would feel compelled to buy the Culprit version for their own use — to compete. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1970s">1970s</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cullinet&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: 1970s"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>As the company prospered in the early 1970s, it was approached by a consultant to <a href="/wiki/BFGoodrich" title="BFGoodrich">BFGoodrich</a>, Naomi O.

Several executives joined the effort over the next three years, including <a href="/wiki/Andrew_Filipowski" title="Andrew Filipowski">Andrew Filipowski</a>, Robert Goldman, Jon Nackerud, Ron McKinney, William Casey, Bob Davis, Bill Linn, and Ray Nawara. IDMS was to be a great bet for the company as it became the leader among many capable and popular products of the mainframe era. It competed with <a href="/wiki/Cincom" class="mw-redirect" title="Cincom">Cincom</a>'s Total, <a href="/wiki/Software_AG" title="Software AG">Software AG</a>'s <a href="/wiki/ADABAS" title="ADABAS">ADABAS</a>, <a href="/wiki/Applied_Data_Research" title="Applied Data Research">Applied Data Research</a>'s <a href="/wiki/DATACOM/DB" title="DATACOM/DB">DATACOM/DB</a>, Computer Corporation of America's <a href="/wiki/Model_204" title="Model 204">Model 204</a>, MRI (later <a href="/wiki/Intel" title="Intel">Intel</a>'s) System 2000 and <a href="/wiki/IBM_Information_Management_System" title="IBM Information Management System">IBM Information Management System</a> (IMS) and <a href="/wiki/Data_Language_Interface" title="Data Language Interface">DL/I</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 1976, the source code was sold to <a href="/wiki/International_Computers_Limited" title="International Computers Limited">International Computers Limited</a> (ICL), whose developers ported the software to run on their <a href="/wiki/ICL_2900_Series" title="ICL 2900 Series">2900 Series</a> mainframes, and subsequently also on the older <a href="/wiki/ICT_1900_series" title="ICT 1900 series">1900</a> machines. ICL continued development of the software independently of Cullinane, selling the originally ported product under the name IDMS and an enhanced version as IDMSX. In this form, it was used by many large UK and international users — examples being the Pay-As-You-Earn system operated by Inland Revenue and a system for Barclays Bank in South Africa. Many of these systems are still running in 2010 on Fujitsu equipment. </p><p>John Cullinane mentored a series of future entrepreneurs and software industry executives. One of the early executives was <a href="/wiki/Andrew_Filipowski" title="Andrew Filipowski">Andrew 'Flip' Filipowski</a>, who later founded <a href="/wiki/Platinum_Technology" title="Platinum Technology">Platinum Technology</a>, Inc.. Another was Robert Goldman who became the CEO of several public software companies including <a href="/w/index.php?title=AICorp&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="AICorp (page does not exist)">AICorp</a>. Jon Nackerud was a co-founder of Relational Technology, Inc., formed to commercialize the <a href="/wiki/Ingres_(database)" title="Ingres (database)">Ingres</a> database management system. Prior to becoming a public company in 1978, the company's name was changed to <i>Cullinane Database Systems, Inc.</i> The company changed its name again to <i>Cullinet Software</i> in 1983, partly because John Cullinane wanted to distance his name from the personal connection to the business when he turned the company over to Bob Goldman, and also in a nod to the importance of computer networking (as evidenced by the company's simultaneous acquisition of Computer Pictures, whose microcomputer-based desktop system linked to IDMS data). Joe McNay, a board member, was particularly important regarding the company's IPO, the first ever in the software products industry. <a href="/wiki/Greylock_Partners" title="Greylock Partners">Greylock</a> purchased some shares from John Cullinane in 1977, less than a year before the company was to go public. It was to be the early foundation on which their Greylock's software technology investment prowess rested. It was Greylock’s first investment in a software company. </p><p>Cullinane's public offering was of note as it was the first successful offering of a pure software products company ever and the first software company <a href="/wiki/Hambrecht_%26_Quist" title="Hambrecht & Quist">Hambrecht & Quist</a> ever took public. Cullinet was also the first software company to have a billion dollar valuation, and the first to do a <a href="/wiki/Super_Bowl" title="Super Bowl">Super Bowl</a> <a href="/wiki/Super_Bowl_commercials" title="Super Bowl commercials">advertisement</a>. Cullinane Database Systems, Inc., went public in 1978. On April 27, 1982 the company became the first computer software firm to be listed on the <a href="/wiki/New_York_Stock_Exchange" title="New York Stock Exchange">New York Stock Exchange</a> and later, the first to become a component stock of the <a href="/wiki/S%26P_500" title="S&P 500">S&P 500</a> Index. However, two quarters after the company went public IBM introduced its <a href="/wiki/IBM_4300" title="IBM 4300">4300</a> series. Its salesmen told all mutual clients that IDMS didn't run on the 4300 series and that all IBM software of the future would be built with IMS/DL1. This caused a major problem as every IDMS customer went ballistic and every prospect went on hold. The company only had three months to solve this marketing problem and technical problem, and remarkably, they did. Technically, it only required the modification of one instruction to get IDMS running on a 4300. The solution to the company's revenue problem turned out to be its new Integrated Data Dictionary<sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Accuracy_dispute#Disputed_statement" title="Wikipedia:Accuracy dispute"><span title="The material near this tag is possibly inaccurate or nonfactual.

By moving very fast, the company used it to put IBM on the defensive and made its numbers<sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="margin-left:0.1em; white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify" title="Wikipedia:Please clarify"><span title="The text near this tag may need clarification or removal of jargon.

It then went from winning one out five competitions to winning four out five and this fueled its growth. </p><p>Beginning in 1979, in an attempt to promote less dependence on the database sales alone, Cullinane fully integrated financial and manufacturing applications with IDMS and decision support systems, another first. The company acquired financial applications from <a href="/wiki/McCormack_%26_Dodge" class="mw-redirect" title="McCormack & Dodge">McCormack & Dodge</a> ("M&D"), a financial software company (acquired by <a href="/wiki/Dun_%26_Bradstreet" title="Dun & Bradstreet">Dun & Bradstreet</a> later in 1983) and completely rewrote them using IDMS. They also acquired an MRP system from Rath & Strong and completely rewrote it using IDMS. Thus, Cullinet had a suite of integrated financial and manufacturing systems (called CIMS Cullinet Integrated Manufacturing System), the first on-line database driven applications, and was a major competitor in what is now called <a href="/wiki/Enterprise_Resource_Planning" class="mw-redirect" title="Enterprise Resource Planning">ERP</a>. The company had become a software powerhouse. Eventually, it acquired a small Boston-based company called Computer Pictures whose graphics-focused decision support system TrendSpotter had already been integrated with IDMS and was very successful. This team developed <i>Goldengate</i>, a <a href="/wiki/Lotus_Symphony_for_DOS" class="mw-redirect" title="Lotus Symphony for DOS">Lotus Symphony</a>-like PC product. </p><p>Goldengate was a part of Cullinet's flawed ICMS (Information Center Management System). The promise of ICMS was the ability to move data between the mainframe and PC desktop. Apple Computer was supposed to do the same for the <a href="/wiki/Apple_Lisa" title="Apple Lisa">Apple Lisa</a>, but never delivered. ICMS was unveiled in 1983 as part of a splashy 20+ city closed circuit TV broadcast that focused on IDMS/R and fueled the market for Cullinet for the next two years, but it was obvious that it was getting harder to maintain its unbroken string of quarters with sales and earnings in excess of 50%. </p><p>The company should have developed PC based IDMS development tools, instead. Ironically, it had the technology under development which was later to become the foundation of <a href="/wiki/PowerBuilder" title="PowerBuilder">PowerBuilder</a> at <a href="/w/index.php?title=Powersoft&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Powersoft (page does not exist)">Powersoft</a>. In fairness, many failures mark the landscape in that space and era including the Ovation product introduced with great fanfare by <a href="/wiki/Ovation_Technologies" title="Ovation Technologies">Ovation Technologies</a> in a race with Lotus's Symphony suite attempting to create the early office suites dominated by <a href="/wiki/Microsoft_Corp" class="mw-redirect" title="Microsoft Corp">Microsoft Corp</a>. </p><p>Goldengate was built pre-Windows, which was expensive for Cullinet because of all the permutations and combinations of PC hardware and memory configurations. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1980s">1980s</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cullinet&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: 1980s"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 1983 John Cullinane, after 25 years in the software business, handed over the helm of Cullinet to Bob Goldman. Eventually the company ran into trouble and Cullinane brought in a recent acquaintance, David Chapman, as CEO of the company.<sup id="cite_ref-Cullinet.IW88_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Cullinet.IW88-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> At the time, Cullinet had $50 million in cash reserves. David Chapman, a veteran IBM and Data General executive, started an aggressive campaign to acquire technology from other companies. The reason for bringing in Chapman was that the company had gotten hung up on the open architecture and relational issues. In other words, a company with an unparalleled record of outpositioning competition every two years, for sixteen years, including IBM, allowed itself to get outpositioned by IBM and others, with the help of E.F. Codd and C.J. Date. </p><p>In 1986-87, Chapman attempted to move the company to the more and more powerful minicomputers such as Digital Equipment Corporation's <a href="/wiki/VAX" title="VAX">VAX</a> line of computers. In the process, Cullinet acquired some very questionable VAX companies, but one had an outstanding relational DBMS. By then it was too late — the company's $50 million of cash had been spent. </p><p>In 1988, John Cullinane returned to Cullinet, fired Chapman and tried to salvage the company.<sup id="cite_ref-Cullinet.NYT1988_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Cullinet.NYT1988-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> By repositioning the company's product line with a new product called Enterprise Generator, he solved the open architecture problem and the company was able to return to profitability by the fourth quarter, which made it possible to negotiate a deal with <a href="/wiki/Charles_Wang" title="Charles Wang">Charles Wang</a>, head of <a href="/wiki/Computer_Associates" class="mw-redirect" title="Computer Associates">Computer Associates</a>. </p><p>In 1989, Wang bought the company for $330 million in stock.
