History
Early history
CTP was started as a division of Cambridge Technology Group.[1] It was spun off and sold to Safeguard Scientific and others on February 23, 1991. The newly independent company named James Sims as CEO and Robert Gett as head of Technology and Consulting. Six months later, Safeguard bought out John J. Donovan.
CTP pioneered fixed time and price consulting service and Rapid application development (RAD), helping clients transform from mainframe-centric solutions to client-server architecture and packaged solutions.
In May 1993, CTP under the stock symbol CATP went public at $5 a share.[1]
