Editing Datapoint (section)

==Divestiture==
After the Edelman takeover, Datapoint spun off its service division into '''Intelogic Trace, Inc.''', which initially specialized in servicing Datapoint equipment but later broadened into supporting products from other vendors as well. Intelogic Trace declared [[Chapter 11]] bankruptcy, and on April 6, 1995, its assets were sold to a company in [[Pennsylvania]].

Datapoint itself weathered a subsequent battle for control of the company that triggered more attention from the SEC. In December 1999, all of Datapoint's patented video communications technologies, along with all inventory and assets associated with the video business group was sold to one of its resellers, '''VUGATE'''. A handful of the loyal video group employees went to work for this company which was still selling the product as of 2021.

On May 3, 2000, Datapoint filed for [[Chapter 11, Title 11, United States Code|Chapter 11]] bankruptcy, and was broken up:
*'''Datapoint UK Limited'''<ref>{{cite web | last= | first= | date= | url=https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/1370658Z:LN | title=Datapoint UK Ltd | work=Bloomberg Markets | publisher=Bloomberg L.P. | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20221213185650/https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/1370658Z:LN | archivedate=December 13, 2022}}</ref> - on June 19, the company sold the Datapoint name and various operations to its European subsidiary for $49.3 million. The company changed its emphasis to call center equipment and largely pulled out of the computer market. Purchased by [[Alchemy Partners]], in 2007 it acquired the assets of Touchbases' [[Avaya]] business to expand its footprint and extend into enterprise communications. Headquartered in [[Brentford]], [[England]], it has clients on 5,000 sites in 41 countries.
*'''Dynacore Holdings Corporation''' - on June 19, 2000, the remnant of Datapoint's US operations changed its name to '''Dynacore Holdings Corporation''' and formed a subsidiary that pursued 14 lawsuits based on two patents granted to Datapoint regarding [[local area network]]s. With only $1.3 million left from the sale of its European operations after paying its debts and no products left to sell &mdash; its total revenues for the first half of 2001 dwindled to $9,000 and a year later fell to nothing &mdash; Dynacore searched for a company to buy. In February 2003, Dynacore engaged in a [[reverse takeover]] of '''The CattleSale Company.''' Asher Edelman now sits in CattleSale's board of directors.
*'''Datapoint U.S.A., Inc.''' - in April 2003, '''Datapoint U.S.A., Inc.''' assumed control of all RMS Operating System based products from Datapoint Group(UK). Datapoint U.S.A., Inc. is based in San Antonio, TX and continues to provide RMS development, maintenance and support services to users worldwide. An office building and street in San Antonio still bear Datapoint's name, but is not associated with the residual US company.
