[[Convergent Technologies]]' first product was the IWS (Integrated Workstation) based on the [[Intel 8086]] processor, which had CTOS as its operating system. This was a modular operating system with built-in [[local area networking]]. CTOS supported multiple processes or threads, and message-based interprocess communication.<ref name="foldoc">{{foldoc|Convergent+Technologies+Operating+System}}</ref>
 
Companies that licensed CTOS included [[Groupe Bull|Bull]] (STARSYS), and [[Burroughs Corporation|Burroughs]] (BTOS) who later merged with Sperry to become [[Unisys]]. Unisys was the single largest customer and acquired Convergent Technologies in 1988. At its peak, CTOS had over 800,000 users worldwide.
