Electronic Data communications, especially business
communications, will advance in the 80's through the use of
local-area computer networks. These local area networks will
provide the architecture suitable for the expanded use of
automated office equipment, providing a cost effective method for
the interconnection of diverse processing and special-function
computer hardware.
The distribution of computing power is, for many applications,
the most natural organization. In many instances, the
information itself is distributed in nature and can be better
managed by distributed machines. The capabilities available
through local-area networks will serve to link these
decentralized machines into a cohesive information and processing
resource for the business place of the future.
We at Associated Computer Consultants wish to provide our clients
with clear and relevant information about new opportunities
available with local-area computer networks. Our ACCES: On-Line
Information is available for dial-in service from 8 am to 5 pm
here in California, Monday through Friday. New items are added
weekly and printed copies are available upon request.
We look forward to your communications.
