Cincom CEO Tom Nies was interviewed by the Wall Street Transcript recently - note the highlighting of Cincom Smalltalk:
TWST: We'd like to begin, if you will, with a brief historical sketch of Cincom Systems, and a picture of things as they are now.
Mr. Nies: Cincom is one of the founders of the software industry. We were organized in 1968. Our foundations were laid in the areas of database management and applications development technologies. In 1980 or so, we began to provide applications systems with manufacturing and financial applications as well. Then, in the mid 1980s, we began to offer text and text-management and text-content systems. During the latter half of the 1980's decade, we also provided Network Management Systems, and today offer CRM, Call Center, and Configuration Management systems. In the applications development technology area, we provide Smalltalk offerings, which are major object-oriented technologies. We're now the world's leading Smalltalk provider as well. In the past three years, we've expanded our offerings beyond software. We now provide outsourcing services for application development, application hosting, call centers, and business process outsourcing.
