<company> The company founded in 1974 by Edward Yourdon to
provide educational, publishing, and consulting services in
state-of-the-art software engineering technology. Over the
next 12 years, the company grew to a staff of over 150 people,
with offices throughout North America and Europe. As CEO of
the company, Yourdon oversaw an operation that trained over
250,000 people around the world; the company was sold in 1986
and eventually became part of CGI, the French software
company that is now part of IBM. The publishing division,
Yourdon Press (now part of Prentice Hall), has produced over
150 technical computer books on a wide range of software
engineering topics; many of these "classics" are used as
standard university computer science textbooks.
