In 1979, the 400 and 800 Atari computer was introduced to the market with IBM introducing its first personal computer in August 1981. At that time, most personal computers had a 8-bit processor; whereas, the IBM PC had a 16-bit processor. The PC Market was dominated by unfamiliar names like Radio Shack 1, Commodore PET Apple II, Kapro, Osborne, Heathkit, and MITS Altair 8800. Many things have changed in the last 23 years, but one thing has stayed the same - Advanced Systems Development, Inc. (ASD) has delivered superior life cycle information technology support to its clients in government and private industry.

Originally founded in 1979, ASD is a private company with corporate headquarters in Arlington, Virginia. With a foundation in desktop support, we have built our practice gradually, now offering an integrated approach to enterprise-wide system support.

Bennett, ASD's founder and president, ASD has demonstrated a long-term vision and commitment to quality that has enabled us to thrive amid the rapidly changing IT landscape.
