As Director of Information Systems for the NM Secretary of State, my team was the first in the nation to connect a SOS office to the Internet and allow the public to search our UCC (Uniform Commercial Code) & Trademarks/Trade-names databases that were running internally on an old IBM System 360

We were also the first to use a "Soundex" search for the UCC searches making them much easier to find.
