Abstract	The largest computer in Bolivia is an IBM 1440 system which by established standards is roughly a medium-size computer. It is also, at the present time, one of three computers in the whole country, all located in La Paz. This computer belongs to the Corporacion Minera de Bolivia. The Corporacion Minera de Bolivia is the basis of the Bolivian economy and directly employs over 20,000 people; at the same time it is a government-owned and controlled company. Within the corporation the Data Processing Department reports directly to the Finance Manager. It consists of a programming section, machine operations section and document control section. The purpose of this paper is to present the behind-the-scenes situations, environmental factors, problems and solutions and techniques involved in the attempt to make this particular data processing department, and what it represents to all concerned, a worthwhile approach and a dynamic success.
