[edit] History

The company known as SydneyPLUS International, founded in 1977, is the result of a merger of International Library Systems Corporation and Sydney Development in 1989.[4] A minicomputer version of SydneyPLUS operated in OpenVMS and Unix in the 1980s and 1993, respectively.[5] In 1996, the company offered a client/server product for Windows NT or Unix servers.[6] The company now offers SQL and Oracle platforms for client/server installations and an ASP hosted solution. The system is a modular design that lets users add on the applications that they need for their operations.[7] The President of SydneyPLUS is Ron Aspe.
