History
In 1988, CSC acquired the consulting and research firm Index Group[2] in the United States and later the Butler Cox Foundation[3] in the United Kingdom in 1991.
Index Group, founded by Thomas P. Gerrity and others from MIT, coined the term business re-engineering by James Champy and Michael Hammer's book, Re-engineering the Corporation,[4] in collaboration with Michael Treacy.[5]
The Butler Cox Foundation was founded by David Butler[6] and George Cox[7] for senior IT executives to share experiences.
The term consumerization was explored by LEF in a position paper in June 2004.[8]
