| Udisco Business Computer Systems' roots date
back to 1975, when it designed and developed an internal computer system for Udisco Ltd.,
Canada's largest national hobby distributor. At a time when computers were not as
widespread as they are today, the company's founder, Lyon Kunin, determined that the
easiest way to develop a system that met Udisco's unique needs was to do it himself.
By 1977, Udisco outgrew its two-year-old DEC machine, and switched to a newer,
faster Alpha Microsystems minicomputer. Having
developed its own in-house accounting and inventory system, however, Udisco was soon
approached by other companies in the Montreal area to develop similar systems, customized
to their specific needs. This endeavor soon grew into a separate division of Udisco
Ltd., specializing in custom programming, sales and service.
In 1982, Udisco became an official dealer of Alpha
Microsystems. Alpha Micro's dedication to quality and support, in addition to its
solid AMOS operating system and upwards scalabilty, has kept Udisco a proud member of the
Alpha Micro (now AlphaServ) family. In 1991, the computer division outgrew Udisco
Ltd., and was split off to form a separate company called Udisco Business Computer Systems
(UBCS).
Today, UBCS is a well-respected, specialized service
company that boasts customers, both large and small, in many diverse industries.
UBCS has systems in the following industries:

UBCS is a value-added reseller (VAR) which buys systems
from Alpha Microsystems, adds various peripherals, and then customizes software to suit
the individual firm's needs.
Every company has specific requirements, and UBCS builds
the computer system around the business, rather than have the business adapt to the
computer system.
