Dyadic Systems was formed in 1976 by Ted Hare, Phil Goacher and David Crossley, a breakaway group of APL consultants from time-sharing bureau W.S. Atkins Computing. The group had been working on the [[Sigma APL]] processor, and was joined by other Atkins employees including [[Geoff Streeter]] and John Stembridge. Dyadic provided design and development services unaffiliated with any specific vendor, allowing its employees to gain experience with many APL dialects. Most work was in [[SHARP APL]], [[APL*PLUS]], and Sigma APL, but Dyadic also worked with APLs from [[IBM]], [[wikipedia:Digital Equipment Corporation|DEC]], [[wikipedia:Honeywell|Honeywell]], [[wikipedia:Burroughs Corporation|Burroughs]], and others, and some non-APL languages. IBM's promotion of [[VSAPL]] as a platform became another source of demand for APL consulting.
