The Association of DAta Processing Service Organizations (ADAPSO) was founded in 1961 as a non-profit trade association for data processing service bureaus in the United States. Several organizational meetings were held throughout 1960 under the name Data Actuating Technical Association (DATA). ADAPSO was incorporated in 1962.

In 1972, ADAPSO reorganized into three sections: the Data Center Section, the Computer Timesharing Services Section, and the Association of Independent Software Companies (AISC). The AISC section was the result of a merger between AISC and ADAPSO. The AISC section eventually became the Software Industry Association Section.

ADAPSO's first headquarters were located in Pennsylvania. After brief stints in New York City and New Jersey, the organization relocated to metropolitan Washington, D.C. in 1978 to concentrate on its role as an advocate for the computer software and services industry.

ADAPSO changed its name to the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA) in 1991.
