Founded in 1984, The ASCII Group, Inc. is the oldest and largest group of independent information technology (IT) solution providers, systems integrators, managed service providers (MSP) [2] and value added resellers (VAR). [3] ASCII is the largest paying community of independent computer solution providers, system integrators, and valued added resellers in the world. [3]
The original ASCII business model was created in 1984 by Alan Weinberger [4] who forged the network out of a failing franchise of software retail stores owned by Ashton-Tate, a major software publisher. [5] 40 independent software retailers decided to join together as a buying group and pay monthly fees to support their organization, in turn supporting each other and their programs for mutual benefit. [6]
Debuting in 2000, ASCII holds 9 annual Success Summits each year throughout the United States and Canada. [7] [8] [9] In 2015, ASCII partnered with TTR, Inc. and announced a support service for sales tax questions. [10]
