The real change in corporate culture began with the personal computer. With the PC, any employee could have a computer of his or her very own and use if for real work. It simplified applications that were cumbersome with a mainframe even without taking into account the problem of gaining access. A mainframe required a skilled programmer to do things that a non-technical user eventually could easily do with a spreadsheet on a PC. The forms and macros required to solve problems on PCs were trivial compared to traditional programming in COBOL or other computer languages.
- Soon PCs were ubiquitous among managers and professionals.
- Management Information System (MIS) managers reacted in horror as they saw these rogue computers serving important functions within their corporations.
- These PCs held vital information in inconsistent and inaccessible formats and were not secure from loss or damage.
- Eventually, MIS departments connected PCs to their corporate mainframes, but primarily as replacements for dumb terminals. Some users, however, were more creative.
