Anacomp, Inc., is an American company that specializes in computer services and document management. It was founded in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1968 by Ronald D. Palamara, Robert R. Sadaka, and J. Melvin Ebbert, three professors at Purdue University.[1] Their goal was to direct the power of the computer toward the disciplines of investment management, education, urban analysis, computer science and civic systems, but is now headquartered in Chantilly, Virginia. The name Anacomp is a combination of the words ANAlyze and COMPute.[1]
