NDC operated chiefly in health information services and electronic payment processing for credit and debit cards. The company spun off its eCommerce division, Global Payment Systems, to form Global Payments in 2001 while rebranding the healthcare division as NDCHealth.[3] NDCHealth would later be acquired by Per-Se in 2005, which was subsequently acquired by McKesson Corporation in 2006.[4]
