Our History

One of the first Texas IBM Vendors

TTS Inc. started in 1979 by the name of DP programming. This is the time when the company was working with a IBM mid-range computer.
They were called the “system 34” and later the “system 36”. TTS Inc. worked with a IBM sales person and they would sale the hardware while we would create the software. As a valued partner, IBM and TTS Inc. worked well because IBM saw the value in our program which led to them financing their hardware and our software. Due to large costs with computing technology in that era, most clients were usually middle to large companies with mainly U.S. customs Broker and Freight forwarders.

During the same period, TTS Inc. also created software for various housing authorities including Laredo Waterworks Inc. This evolved to TTS Inc.’s original name S.U.M.S. (Software Unlimited Memory Systems).

Biography

Back in the 70s, the world of technology was vastly different from what it is today. Technology was new, unexplored territory that few people dared to tread. It was during this time that I found myself in a college field that I wasn’t entirely sure about. I took a leap of faith and started taking programming classes, not knowing what the future held. But, as luck would have it, programming became my expertise, and I was eventually hired as a programmer at the college computer center.
