The International Computing Centre (ICC) was established in
1971 by a Memorandum of Agreement among the United Nations
(UN), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and
the World Health Organization (WHO), pursuant to resolution
2741 (XXV) of the United Nations General Assembly. It was created as an inter-organization
facility to provide electronic data processing services for
themselves and other Users.
The ICC has expanded considerably since its establishment,
and more than 25 organizations, funds and programmes of
the United Nations system currently use its services and
participate in its governance.
In addition, governmental entities, inter-governmental
and non-governmental organizations as well as other not-for-profit
institutions use ICC’s services.
Initially, ICC functioned as a Service Bureau providing
primarily mainframe services to a limited number of users.
With its initial work force of about 20 staff ICC was able
to meet most of the needs of its users.
Over the years, ICC has broadened the range of services
to include internet hosting, managed storage and other services
it provides to reflect the changing requirements of its
clients. ICC has now over 200 staff.
The Centre has extended its presence beyond its Headquarters
in Geneva, Switzerland and established offices in New York,
USA, and Brindisi, Italy.
