[edit]In the early years, Aso Tavitian managed sales and marketing operations, which soon took off, especially after then-startup Computerworld published a front page story about the product. That story, Whitlow said, resulted in openings in Europe, and the company was one of the first to sell an independent software product in Europe.[3] In those early days, according to Whitlow, Syncsort's product was often the first non-IBM product for many customers.

Tavitian was appointed CEO in 1975.[2][3] Within five years, Syncsort overtook IBM's majority market-share in the technology.[4] Tavitian grew the company internationally[5] and oversaw 32 years of steady growth[2] before selling his interests in the company in 2008 and 2013 in order to focus on being a philanthropist.[2]
