Service bureaus were a thriving business in machine accounting, for businesses not willing or able to make the large investment in accounting machines and early computers. The Anchorage version was known as Business Service Bureau (BSB) and was located at the corner of 6th Avenue and Eagle Streets. BSB had a small department for administering Union benefit plans. The BSB had approximately 20 total employees.
1973, LTS had engaged Welfare & Pension Service (WPAS) to provide the data services so necessary to Trust administration. At the time, WPAS was owned by Washington State Labor Council and they eventually bought LTS, as well.
