History

In 1988, CSC acquired the consulting and research firm Index Group [2] in the United States and later the Butler Cox Foundation [3] in the United Kingdom in 1991.

The Butler Cox Foundation was founded by David Butler [6] and George Cox [7] for senior IT executives to share experiences.

The term consumerization was explored by LEF in a position paper in June 2004. [8]
