Thomson Software Products

Thomson Software Products (TSP) was a software development corporation based in Norwalk, Connecticut with engineering and support facilities in Norwalk and San Diego, California. Established in July 1995, the corporation became half of Aonix in 1996.

TSP was a United States subsidiary of the French multinational Thomson-CSF formed by merging the Thomson subsidiary Alsys of San Diego with Must Software International of Norwalk. The company did not integrate the activities of its two components before its own merger with Interactive Development Environments, Inc. to form Aonix in November 1996. The ex-Must staff in Norwalk continued to provide client/server fourth-generation language (4GL) and middleware products, while the ex-Alsys worked on high-performance Ada development environments and the TeleUSE family of graphical user interface development tools.

Famous quotes containing the words thomson and/or products:

    The savage soul of game is up at once—
    The pack full-opening various, the shrill horn
    Resounded from the hills, the neighing steed
    Wild for the chase, and the loud hunter’s shout—
    O’er a weak, harmless, flying creature, all
    Mixed in mad tumult and discordant joy.
    —James Thomson (1700–1748)

    All that is told of the sea has a fabulous sound to an inhabitant of the land, and all its products have a certain fabulous quality, as if they belonged to another planet, from seaweed to a sailor’s yarn, or a fish story. In this element the animal and vegetable kingdoms meet and are strangely mingled.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
