Abstract

Writing about information systems in a publication of TIMS and ORSA is certainly an appropriate thing to do. In the late fifties and early sixties I classified myself as an O/R professional. My first major management job in 1959 was to create and run an O/R department. I still have friends who remember my involvement with TIMS publications and TIMS business operations. Then, in 1962 I decided to switch out of O/R as a career and to move into Information Systems Management. This message is a report to my O/R friends about what I have learned in the intervening years. It is also a report on how a quantitatively oriented person looks at the evolution of the information systems industry.
