for its creation, in 1973. The software was released in 1964 for the GE 235 computer. By 1965, a network version for the customer Weyerhaeuser Lumber was in operation. IDS/II, introduced in 1975, was a . At this time the original version was labeled IDS/I. It was not easy to use or implement applications with IDS, because it was designed to maximize performance using the hardware available at that time. However, that weakness was equally its strength because skilful implementations of IDS-type databases, such as British Telecom's huge CSS project (an

Charles Bachman's innovative design work continues to find state-of-the-art application with major commercial operations. Later, BF Goodrich Chemical Co., rewrote the entire system to make it more usable, calling the result integrated data management system (IDMS).
