It's a problem: when IT doesn't work, a little common sense goes a long way

Article Abstract:

Computer system failures do not always have complicated causes. They can have very simple explanations, such as loose cables and other power problems. It is therefore advisable to consider the most obvious answers first before investigating more complicated explanations. Nevertheless, genuine disasters can happen, albeit infrequently, so it is always useful to have a computer disaster recovery plan. Fire, floods and other disasters can disrupt or completely destroy an organization's normal processing, which can cause the business to collapse. There are a number of simple measures that can be implemented to minimize computer-related damage. These include conducting backups regularly, using a virus checker, upgrading applications regularly and training computer users adequately.

Subscription accounting at the British Library

Article Abstract:

The British Library has implemented a computerized subscription accounting system. The purpose of the system is to ensure that publications are sent out on schedule and to their proper destinations. The Document Supply Centre of the library processes about three quarters of all British inter-library loans, and receives about 11,000 requests per day for materials from businesses, schools, government institutions, and individuals. To meet with this demand, the Library purchased the Subscription Accounting System from England Ltd. The main components of the system are invoicing and labeling.

Summit accounts make full use of the supermicro

Article Abstract:

The advantages (and limitations) of networked microcomputers, multi-user microcomputer systems and minicomputer systems are discussed, and certain accounting software systems are described (such as Summit from D.M. England and Partners) for corporations planning to install a computerized accounting system. Properly planned these accounting systems can, in the future, function as word processing systems and grow as the company increases in size without necessitating the scrapping of an entire system and starting over.
