Julius E. Pitrap menemukan timbangan komputer pada tahun 1885. Alexander Dey menemukan dial recorder tahun 1888. Herman Hollerith menemukan Electric Tabulating Machine 1989 dan pada tahun yang sama Williard Bundy menemukan alat untuk mengukur waktu kerja karyawan. Pada 16 Juni 1911, teknologi-teknologi tersebut dan perusahaan yang memilikinya digabungkan oleh Charles Ranlett Flint dan membentuk Computing Tabulating Recording Company (CTR). Perusahaan yang berbasis di New York ini memiliki 1.300 karyawan dan area perkantoran serta pabrik di Endicott dan Binghamton, New York; Dayton, Ohio; Detroit, Michigan; Washington, D.C.; dan Toronto, Ontario. CTR memproduksi dan menjual berbagai macam jenis mesin mulai dari timbangan komersial hingga pengukur waktu kerja. Pada tahun 1914, Flint merekrut Thomas J. Watson, Sr., dari National Cash Register Company, untuk membantunya memimpin perusahaan. Watson menciptakan slogan, ―THINK‖, yang segera menjadi mantra bagi karyawan CTR. Dalam waktu 11 bulan setelah bergabung, Watson menjadi presiden dari CTR. Perusahaan memfokuskan diri pada penyediaan solusi penghitungan dalam skala besar untuk bisnis. Selama empat tahun pertama kepemimpinannya, Watson sukses meningkatkan pendapatan hingga lebih dari dua kali lipat dan mencapai $9 juta. Ia juga sukses mengembangkan sayap ke Eropa, Amerika Selatan, Asia, dan Australia. Pada 14 Februari 1924, CTR berganti nama menjadi International Business Machines Corporation (IBM).

  • Eastleigh Borough Council and Parishes (Hampshire)
    Case study on service delegations to local (parish and town) councils EASTLEIGH BOROUGH COUNCIL AND PARISHES (HAMPSHIRE) This is an example of service delegation being undertaken across a whole Borough, namely Eastleigh in Hampshire and its ten local parish and town councils. Eastleigh Borough Council has been forward looking in its approach to delegations and it actively encourages local councils to explore the benefits of delivering services more locally to citizens. Context "The welfare of the people is the most important law is the motto of Eastleigh Borough Council. The current Borough was formed in 1974, when the then Borough of Eastleigh was expanded to include part of Winchester Rural District. Since 1994 it has a policy of encouraging the formation of new parishes. The Borough now consists of ten parishes – the oldest set up in 1894 and the two newest, Chadlers Ford and Allbrook, created in April 2010 – plus the town of Eastleigh which remains unparished. Eastleigh District Association of Local Councils (EDALC) has been established and it works with the Hampshire Association of Local Councils to support the parishes. The Chairman of EDALC, believes that The elatioship etee us [the parishes] and the Borough is much better in Eastleigh than other parts of Hapshie, ad oe the hole out. The Chief Executive of the Hampshire Association of Local Councils also believes Eastleigh has an excellent and collaborative approach to service delegation: This comes at a time when in other areas of the country relatively few local councils have taken on delivery of delegated services and a number of [principal] local authorities are cautious about delegatig otol do a tie.

    Eastleigh Borough Local Plan 2011-2029 Draft October 2011 Foreword Foreword This document is a first draft of the Borough Council’s ideas for a new plan for the borough, looking ahead to 2029. We need this because our existing plan (the Eastleigh Borough Local Plan Review 2001-2011) is now out of date. There have been many changes nationally and locally since it was adopted, and we must have new policies to address these. Preparing a new plan has given the Council a chance to look afresh at what sort of places and facilities we need for our communities now and in the future. To establish what our priorities should be, we have investigated a wide variety of existing and future needs in the borough. From these we have developed a draft plan to help guide development over the next 18 years. The plan is being published for public consultation, and the Borough Council would welcome your views on our draft policies and proposals, and how we should be making provision for the future. We are still at an early stage in the process, and your views can help shape the future of the borough. Full contact details are given in Chapter 1, Introduction.
