The Government Office: NSWC Adopts UNIX as System Standard - the Goal Is Software Integration

Article Abstract:

UNIX has been set as an operating system standard for office automation and other computer networks at the Naval Surface Weapons Center (NSWC). The standardization is expected to expedite software integration, improve communications, and provide the Center with vendor independence. Presently, the Center is using products from Prime Computer Inc., Computer Consoles Inc., and Digital Equipment Corp. in its office automation program. The Center's system is connected by Sytek Inc's local area network. Applications include word processing, electronic mail, calendar management and scheduling, and data management for personal databases.
