[edit]Origins

Kodak Headquarters Building

Kodak's origins rest with Eastman Dry Plate Company,[3] and the General Aristo Company, founded by
inventor George Eastman in Rochester and Jamestown, New York. The General Aristo Company was
formed in 1899 in Jamestown New York, with George Eastman as treasurer, and this company purchased
the stock of American Aristotype Company.[1]

Eventually, the business in Jamestown was moved in its entirety to Rochester, and the plants in
Jamestown were razed. The Eastman Dry Plate Company was responsible for the first cameras suitable for
non expert use. The Kodak company attained its name from the first simple roll film cameras produced by
Eastman Dry Plate Company, known as the "Kodak" in its product line. The cameras proved such an
enormous success that the word Kodak was incorporated into the company name.[1]

George Eastman registered the trademark Kodak on September 4, 1888. The Eastman Kodak Company
was founded in 1892.[1]
The logo from 1987 to 2006.[4]

The company is incorporated in New Jersey but has its offices in Rochester, New York.[5] George Eastman,
Kodak's founder, coined the advertising slogan, "You press the button, we do the rest."[6] In 1901 the
Eastman Kodak Company acquired the stock of General Aristo Company.

[edit]Kodak name
The letter "K" had been a favorite of Eastman's, he is quoted as saying, "it seems a strong, incisive sort of
letter." He and his mother devised the name Kodak with an anagram set. He said that there were three
principal concepts he used in creating the name: it should be short, one cannot mispronounce it, and it
could not resemble anything or be associated with anything but Kodak.[7]

It has also been suggested that "Kodak" originated from the suggestion of David Houston, a fellow
photographic inventor who held the patents to several roll film camera concepts that he later sold to
Eastman.[7] Houston, who started receiving patents in 1881, was said to have chosen "Nodak" as a
nickname of his home state, North Dakota (NoDak).[8][9] This is contested by other historians, however, who
cite that Kodak was trademarked prior to Eastman buying Houston's patents.[10

[edit]History

It began as the "Tata Computer Centre", for the company Tata Group whose main business was to provide
computer services to other group companies. F C Kohli was the first general manager. JRD Tata was the
first chairman, followed by Nani Palkhivala.

One of TCS' first assignments was to provide punched card services to a sister concern, Tata Steel (then
TISCO). It later bagged the country's first software project, the Inter-Branch Reconciliation System (IBRS)
for the Central Bank of India[6]. It also provided bureau services to Unit Trust of India, thus becoming one of
the first companies to offer BPO services.

In the early 1970s, Tata Consultancy Services started exporting its services. The company pioneered the
global delivery model for IT services with its first offshore client in 1974. TCS's first international order came
from Burroughs, one of the first business computer manufacturers. TCS was assigned to write code for the
Burroughs machines for several US-based clients[7]. This experience also helped TCS bag its first onsite
project - the Institutional Group & Information Company (IGIC), a data centre for ten banks, which catered
to two million customers in the US, assigned TCS the task of maintaining and upgrading its computer
systems[8].
In 1981, TCS set up India's first software research and development centre, the Tata Research
Development and Design Center (TRDDC) [9]. The first client-dedicated offshore development center was
set up for Compaq (then Tandem) in 1985.

In 1989, TCS delivered an electronic depository and trading system called SECOM for SIS
SegaInterSettle, Switzerland. It was by far the most complex project undertaken by an Indian IT company.
TCS followed this up with System X for the Canadian Depository System and also automated
the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE)[10]. TCS associated with a Swiss partner, TKS Teknosoft, which it
later acquired[11].

In the early 1990s, the Indian IT outsourcing industry grew tremendously due to the Y2K bug and the
launch of a unified European currency, Euro. TCS pioneered the factory model for Y2K conversion and
developed software tools which automated the conversion process and enabled third-party developers and
clients to make use of it[12].

In 1999, TCS saw outsourcing opportunity in E-Commerce and related solutions and set up its E-
Business division with ten people. By 2004, E-Business was contributing half a billion dollars (US) to
TCS[13].

On 9 August 2004, TCS became a publicly listed company[14], much later than its
rivals, Infosys, Wipro and Mahindra Satyam.

During 2005, TCS ventured into a new area for an Indian IT services company - Bioinformatics[15]

In 2008, the company went through an internal restructuring exercise that executives claim would bring
about agility to the organization.[

[edit]History

EMI's building in London

The Electric and Musical Industries Ltd was formed in March 1931 by the merger of the UK Columbia
Graphophone Company and the Gramophone Company, with its "His Master's Voice" record label, firms
that have a history extending back to the origins of recorded sound. The new amalgamated company
produced sound recordings as well as recording and playback equipment.

[edit]Manufacturing

The company's gramophone manufacturing led to forty years of success with larger-scale electronics. Alan
Blumlein, a skilled engineer employed by EMI, conducted a great deal of pioneering research into stereo
sound recording. Blumlein was killed in 1942 whilst conducting trials on an experimental H2S radarunit.
During and after World War II, the EMI Laboratories in Hayes, Hillingdon developed radar equipment
and guided missiles, employing analogue computers. The company later became involved
in broadcasting equipment, notably providing the first television transmitter to the BBC. It also
manufactured broadcast television cameras for British television production companies, mostly the BBC,
although the commercial television ITV companies used them as well alongside cameras made
by Pye and Marconi. Their most famous piece of broadcast television equipment was the EMI 2001 colour
camera, which became the mainstay of both the BBC and several ITV companies in the 1970s and early
1980s.

In 1958 the EMIDEC 1100, Britain's first transistorised computer, was developed at Hayes under the
leadership of Godfrey Hounsfield. In the early 1970s, Hounsfield developed the first CAT scanner, a device
which revolutionised medical imaging. In 1973 EMI was awarded a prestigious Queen's Award for
Technological Innovation for what was then called the EMI scanner,[3] and in 1979 Hounsfield won
the Nobel Prize for his accomplishment.[4] After brief, but brilliant, success in the medical imaging field,
EMI's manufacturing activities were sold off to other companies, notably Thorn (see Thorn EMI).
Subsequently development and manufacturing activities were sold off to other companies and work moved
to other towns such as Crawley and Wells.

Emihus Electronics, based in Glenrothes, Scotland, was owned 51% by Hughes Aircraft, of California, U.S.,
and 49% by EMI. It manufactured integrated circuits and, for a short period in the mid-1970s, made hand-
held calculators under the Gemini name
