 On August 10, 1988, Omri Serlin convinced eight companies
to form the Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC).
In so doing, Mr. Serlin set in motion the computer
industry's first standards body to bring order to the
world of transaction processing performance measurement.
For the first two years, Mr. Serlin served as chairman,
treasurer, and administrator of the TPC.
Mr. Serlin, founder and principal of
ITOM

industry, in the U.S. and abroad, since 1961. He has
published technical papers and chaired sessions in the

in the U.S., Europe, Japan, and elsewhere; and has been
quoted by leading publications worldwide, including

others.
He has served on the ANSI X.3 and IEEE 802 standards
committees, and has contributed frequently to leading
professional and trade publications. He holds BS and MS degrees in electrical engineering.

two newsletters that were "must read" publications for
industry professionals. Since its inception in
1982, Fault Tolerant Systems
