Context MBA was the first integrated software application for personal computers, providing five functions in one program: spreadsheet, database, charting, word processing, and communication software. Integrated software is software for Personal computers that combines the most commonly used functions of many productivity software programs into one application A spreadsheet is a Computer application that simulates a paper worksheet A Computer Database is a structured collection of records or data that is stored in a computer system A chart or graph is a type of Information graphic, that represents tabular numeric data and/or functions. Word processing is the creation of documents using a Word processor. Communication software is used to provide remote access to systems and exchange files and real-time messages in text audio and/or video formats between different computers or user IDs [1] It was first released in 1981 by Context Management Systems for the Apple III computer,[2] but was later ported to the IBM PC platform as well. The Apple III (often rendered as Apple ///) was a Personal computer aimed at business users manufactured and sold by Apple from May 1980 until its discontinuation
Since the program was written in Pascal, it was easy to port to different platforms, but did so at the expense of performance, which was critical at the time of its release, given the limited amount of memory, processing power, and disk I/O available on a desktop computer. Pascal is an influential imperative and procedural Programming language, designed in 1968/9 and published in 1970 by Niklaus Wirth as a small It was soon overtaken by Lotus 1-2-3, a more limited integrated software package, but one written in assembly language, yielding much better performance. Lotus 1-2-3 is a Spreadsheet program from Lotus Software (now part of IBM) See the terminology section below for information regarding inconsistent use of the terms assembly and assembler
