National Computing Centre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Computing Centre (NCC) is a membership and research company in the UK founded on 10 June 1966 by the UK Government in order to encourage the growth of computer usage in the UK and ensure that the necessary education and training was made available.
Initially, most income came directly from government grants but with the growth of NCC's commercial operations this ceased in 1988. It is now (2005) one of the UK's leading IT membership organisations serving private sector, supplier and government communities.
