The Computer Company

The Computer Company (or TCC) was an early computer time-sharing service based in Richmond, Virginia.[1]

History

The company was founded in 1970 by Walter R. Witschey, who was then an IBM computer researcher.[1]

CBS News used the company's APL services to provide analysis for the 1972 Democratic National Convention.[2]

In 1981, the state of Louisiana fined the company three times for failing to fulfill its contract to process Medicaid claims. Witschey said the company's problems stemmed from a very high pend rate among Louisiana claimants.[3]

In 1983, TCC was sold to Blue Cross Blue Shield. Witschey remained CEO until 1984.[1]
