DATAmatic Background: Datamatic Corporation was established in 1954 as a joint venture of Raytheon and Honeywell. In 1955 Honeywell bought out Raytheon's interest and the company became known as "Honeywell DATAmatic. Datamatic was eventually renamed Honeywell Information Systems (HIS).

In 1970, Honeywell acquired General Electric's (GE) computer division which also gave them access to the timesharing system known as Multics.

In 1986, Honeywell Corporation exited the large computer business, due to increased competition from IBM.
