He later co-founded two software companies – Cambridge Interactive Systems (CIS) which was known for its Medusa 2D/3D CAD system, and Smallworld with its eponymous Smallworld GIS ( Geographical Information System). Dick Newell oversaw the creation of the Plant Design Management System (PDMS) for the 3D process plant design. The centre carried out CAD research, and some of its early staff members, such as brothers Dick Newell and Martin Newell, went on to become well known in the worldwide CAD community. Its first director was Arthur Llewelyn, who initially contracted out the recruitment and management of specialist staff to ICL. It was a government-funded research institute created by the UK Ministry of Technology, with a mission to develop computer-aided design techniques and promote their take-up by British industry.
