Canadian Computer Measurement Group

CMG Canada was formed in 1985 by: Gabe Gewurtz, Bill Gray, Harry Zimmer, Tony Mungal, Mick Devereau, Geoff Senson, and Mike Osborn.
The Computer Measurement Group evolved out of the need to provide an exchange forum for ideas and methodologies amongst data processing professionals in an unbiased, non-vendor setting. From the formation of the first CMG group in 1975 in the United States, it's dedication to providing education, networking, leadership opportunities, and reliable technical information has been exemplary.
