The S/360-67 was intended to satisfy the needs of key [[time-sharing]] customers, notably [[MIT]] (where [[Project MAC]] had become a notorious IBM sales failure), the [[University of Michigan]], [[General Motors]], [[Bell Labs]], [[Princeton University]], the Carnegie Institute of Technology (later [[Carnegie Mellon University]]),<ref>[http://www.multicians.org/thvv/360-67.html ''The IBM 360/67 and CP/CMS''], Tom Van Vleck, 1995, 1997, 2005, 2009</ref>
In the mid-1960s a number of organizations were interested in offering interactive computing services using [[time-sharing]].<ref name=Topol30Years>{{cite journal|url=https://www.msu.edu/~mrr/mycomp/mts/others/feat02.htm|title=A History of MTS—30 Years of Computing Service|author=Susan Topol|journal=Information Technology Digest|volume=5|issue=5|date=May 13, 1996|publisher=University of Michigan}}</ref> At that time the work that computers could perform was limited by their lack of real memory storage capacity. When IBM introduced its [[System/360]] family of computers in the mid-1960s, it did not provide a solution for this limitation and within IBM there were conflicting views about the importance of time-sharing and the need to support it.
