1979 Computer Automation at Citibank AXXA Electronic Office System. Brief educational/historical view of Citibank's 1979 implementation of its in-house office automation system, which included E-mail, word processing, desktop computing, calendaring, electronic filing and remote access. Workstations used a Z80 microprocessor and accessed a central processor. The office automation system, known as AXXA was installed in 15 Citibank locations. This presentation shows the AXXA terminals in use at Citibank, and is followed by a 5 minute promotional video explaining the benefits of the AXXA System 90. In April 1980, Axxa Corporation was formed as a spin off from Citicorp’s Lexar unit, to offer the “Axxa System 90” electronic office system as a commercial product. The initial configuration included two workstations, a central processor, and printer, and sold for about $42,000 in 1980 (over $155,000 in 2024).
