In-House System released

CADP releases the first version of the in-house system, Cooperative Attached Processing System (CAPS). CAPS enables Members to handle all functions on-site in place of using a mainframe-based batch or on-line processing system. CAPS would be enhanced over time, eventually moving to a relational database and fourth-generation language, and retired almost 30 years later. Eastern Illinois Power Cooperative (now Eastern Illini Electric Cooperative) in Paxton, Illinois served as the first CAPS test site.
