 | | Remington Rand became the leading (and for a brief time, the only) computer vendor in the world through its acquisitions of the Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation (EMCC) in February 1950 and Engineering Research Associates (ERA) in December 1951. | | | At the time of its acquisition by Remington Rand, ERA was working on a successor to the 1101, which had been called the ERA 1103, and it was later referred to as the UNIVAC Scientific Computer or the UNIVAC 1103. | | | Though he was an astute businessman in general terms, Rand had no real understanding of computers. |

| | In the late 1940's Jim Rand pursued his interest in computer development along three avenues simultaneously: large bureaucratic/governmental computers; large scientific computers; and small business computers to replace what were then called tabulators. | | | Rand pursued the first two through acquisition: Eckert-Mauchley Computer Corporation was acquired for bureaucratic applications and Engineering Research Associates in St. Paul, Minn. was bought to support scientific computer development. | | | Jim Rand hired patent holders in order to accelerate the process of developing a concept that might be commercially successfully. |

| | A Short History of Remington Rand's First Computer |
| | James Rand, Chairman and President of Remington Rand, was approached by Loring P. Crosman in 1943 with a plan to build an electronic computer. | | | Over one thousand units were produced before being replaced by the UNIVAC 1004, the last plugboard computer produced by the UNIVAC Division of the SperryRand Corporation. | | | In anticipation of the technological change taking place that would obsolete mechanical calculating machines, Crosman had taken some electronic courses Columbia University and therefore was not only bringing an idea but a well founded plan which must have impressed Jim Rand because Crosman was hired and went to work at the Brooklyn facility. |

| | IBM and the Seven Dwarfs |
| | In 1982, Sperry Rand officially retired the UNIVAC name, replacing it with Sperry on all their computers. | | | The regular sales force knew little about computers, and even less about how computers could help their business customers; Remington had a team of engineers to answer customer questions, but those people were rarely familiar with how their customers did business and therefore how computers could help them. | | | In 1951 the first UNIVAC-I was finally delivered to the Census Bureau under the Remington Rand brand name, and was so successful that UNIVAC practically became a synonym for computer, much as Xerox would later become a synonym for copier. |

| | Though Remington Rand took an economic beating for backing the two naive innovators, they secured for themselves a place in history as the producers of the first commercial computer system. | | | In many ways, the UNIVAC was quite a technological advancement from the design of the earlier ENIAC. | | | With the Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation under the wing of Remington Rand Inc., the UNIVAC project was quickly revitalized and began to take form into the original design proposed four years before. |
