How it started

History

In 1988, CSC acquired the consulting and research firm Index Group in the United States and later the Butler Cox Foundation in the United Kingdom in 1991.

Index Group, founded by Thomas P. Gerrity and others from MIT, coined the term business re-engineering by James Champy and Michael Hammer's book, Re-engineering the Corporation, in collaboration with Michael Treacy.

The Butler Cox Foundation was founded by David Butler and George Cox for senior IT executives to share experiences.

The term consumerization was explored by LEF in a position paper in June 2004.
