XPCS is a high end conferencing system featuring multi-host configurability, multiple independent conferences on a single machine, network or local moderation of conferences, multiple protocol downloading, e-mail, automated backup and maintenance, and C2 security compliance. Currently in use by magazines,customer support organizations, and in the Federal Government. According to Richard Karasik, president of Saratoga Information Systems, "The DECstation and DECsystem family provide an ideal cost effective environment for a conferencing system. With a DECsystem, or a network of DECstations, a university department, or a group of lawyers can maintain private as well as public information banks on topics of interest to whole departments, or just small groups of people within a department. This is proving to be a much more effective way of sharing information than shuffling paper around, and perhaps getting a copy of a copy -three weeks late -if someone even remembers to put you on the distribution list -and can find your in basket." XPCS is one of a series of CrossPoint Precision Tools being developed and ported to Digital's ULTRIX-based DECstations and DECsystems by Saratoga Information Systems. Prices for XP range from $700.00 for a single user configuration to $25,000.00 for a 128 user configuration. Government and educational discounts are available, as well as site licensing.
