Legler Systems Company was formed in 1972 by William S. Legler to
provide professional management information services to both private
industry and local governments. Legler Systems specializes in providing
a full range of data processing services to its clients with emphasis
on EDP consulting, system evaluation, application design and programming,
computer processing, software installation support and training.
William Legler is a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley with a major in accounting. Prior to forming Legler Systems Company, William Legler was employed in various consulting and software development positions in California with Touche Ross and Company in San Francisco, S. L. Optner & Associates in Los Angeles and Southern Pacific Company in San Francisco.
In 1977, Legler Systems Company undertook the design, development and marketing of a proprietary Accounts Payable System (APS) for IBM mainframe computers. This batch-oriented system was sold to over 20 customers throughout the country.
In 1979, Legler Systems purchased a large IBM Series/1 mini-computer running EDX with 9-track tape drives for application development, computer processing and online teleprocessing service. For over 15 years we provided online teleprocessing support of the AVCOM (TM) system, a unique application for small aircraft maintenance information. We provided computer processing support for the Research Department at Port of Oakland on import/export shipping data.
During the early 1980s we developed online accounting applications for the mini-computer environment including general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, check reconciliation, order entry, fixed assets, inventory management, and mailing list. These independent accounting modules are menu driven for user-friendly operation and written in the COBOL language for easy program maintenance and portability.
In the 1990s, Legler Systems enhanced and expanded the original IBM Series/1 accounting applications for the personal computer running any version of Windows from Windows 3.1 to Windows Vista on a local area network (LAN) environment, as well as the UNIX platform. Many new productivity features were added, such as function key operation, full-screen support and online pop-up help windows to name a few.
In addition to the financial application software mentioned above, other client engagements include:
1. Programming - client-server Human Resource software for windows/UNIX using SQL, GUI and COBOL. Web development using HTML and JavaScript. Mainframe development using JCL and COBOL. Application software development for the personal computer using Micro Focus COBOL.
2. Evaluations - audit and technical review of online systems
3. Conversions - redesign and upgrade of business applications from one computer platform to another.
Legler Systems is a small firm that provides personalized attention to the development of practical solutions to client information requirements. We strive to exceed expectations. Our online accounting software has been in day-to-day use at Legler Systems Company and other small businesses in California for over 25 years.
