Service Bureau Corporation

1 Service Bureau Corporation



1 The Service Bureau Corporation (SBC) was a subsidiary of IBM formed

in 1957 to operate IBM's former service bureau business as an

independent company.



1 IBM had operated service bureaus in major cities since 1932 allowing users to rent time on tabulating equipment, and later computing equipment, to solve problems

which couldn't justify a full-time equipment lease. In 1956, as a result of a consent

decree with the United States Department of Justice, IBM spun off its service bureaus to force them to operate at "arms length"

from the parent company.



1 In 1973, as a result of another lawsuit over the fear, uncertainty and

doubt (FUD) created by IBM's pre-announcement of a nonexistent

System/360 Model 92, IBM sold SBC for $16 million to Control Data Corporation, which had a small

service bureau business of its own.


Service bureau

1 A service bureau is a company which provides business services for a fee. The term has been extensively used to describe technology-based

services to financial services companies, particularly banks. Customers of service

bureaus typically do not have the scale or expertise to incorporate these services into their

internal operations and prefer to outsource them to a service bureau. Outsourced payroll services constitute a commonly provisioned

service from a service bureau.


Service bureau

1 To its customers a service bureau offers a combination of expertise in technology, process and business-

domains. The bureau business-model depends on the ability to productize services and deploy them in volume

to a large customer base. In the modern context, technology often

becomes a key enabler to achieving this scale.

Payroll service bureau

1 The typical client of a service bureau is a small business - one just large

enough for payroll to be complicated to the point of a hassle, but one still small enough to not merit its own

full-time payroll department.



1 The tasks that can generally be expected of just about all payroll service bureaus are as

follows:



1 In the United States, it is usual and customary that any penalties or liabilities

incurred by a service bureau's mistakes are borne by the service bureau. In practice,

they are more successful at having penalties and other fees abated than most

other businesses, mainly because tax authorities have a stake in the success and

longevity of service bureaus simply because they make the tax man's job

easier.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-service-bureau-toolkit.html


1 Because payroll transactions can be enormous (thousands to hundreds of thousands per pay period per client), service bureaus often consider the

interest earned (float) on those amounts in the interim to be a substantial source of revenue


Payroll service bureau - Different types of service bureaus

1 In the United States, there are several nationwide chains for payroll processing. Then there are countless local service bureaus which vary in scope and size. Because local service

bureaus tend to service only a very narrow geographic area and often see themselves as competing together against the nationwide

giants rather than one another, they often band together and form alliances and trade

associations whereby they share expertise and consolidate their negotiating power with their

vendors.



1 Local service bureaus have opportunities to at meeting specific local and national needs



1 In addition to the national and local service bureau options, there are also payroll service providers who can accommodate any industry

versus providers who maintain a very niched or specialized focus on a

single industry



1 This type of arrangement is desirable to service bureaus as it

allows them to show a competitive portfolio of services that rivals that of

the national chains.


Payroll service bureau - Service bureau software

1 The software choice is also significant in that service bureau

trade associations are often formed based on the choice of software, as

they generally face the same challenges and offer the same services in the same manner.


Payroll service bureau - Service bureau software

1 A service bureau software package that has been in service for ten years may be based on obsolete Operating

Systems such as DOS and lack Internet functionality, but on the

other hand, such software has the advantage of a proven history and a body of real-world experience using

it.


International African Service Bureau

1 The 'International African Service Bureau' (IASB) was a Pan-Africanism|pan-African organisation founded in

London in 1937 by West Indians George Padmore, C


British Secret Service Bureau - Scotland Yard

1 In 1909 the Government Committee on Intelligence, with advocacy of

Richard Burden Haldane and Winston Churchill, established a new Secret

Service Bureau with a Home Section under command of Captain (Later

General) Sir Vernon Kell and a Foreign Section under Commander

(later Admiral) Sir Mansfield Cumming


British Secret Service Bureau - Secret Service Bureau

1 Melville's request was granted in October 1909 when the War Office

authorized the creation of the Secret Service Bureau, nineteen military intelligence departments - MI1 to MI19, but MI5 and MI6 came to be

the most recognized as they are the only ones to have remained active to

this day
