The Confederated Tribes purchased their first computer in 1971, and have continued to emphasize the effective use of technology.
Today there are three basic platforms or groups of computer technology being utilized.
They are the central computer, microcomputers, and networks. The applications running on these platforms are predominantly business applications. There are also several computing centers with scientific and engineering applications. Up to 9 remote dial-in lines are also used. To reduce costs, a project is underway to phase out the central computer and move its applications into a network environment.
