Digital planning sales venture in Hungary

Article Abstract:

Digital Equipment Corp (DEC) plans a joint venture to create a Hungarian company that will sell and service DEC's computers. DEC will invest several millions of dollars in the company, which will be called Digital Equipment (Hungary) Ltd. DEC will own 51 percent of the unit, and two Hungarian state-owned engineering organizations - the Central Research Institute for Physics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences; and Szamilk, a software developer - will share the rest. Eastern European countries lag behind Western Europe, Japan and the US in computer technology. A DEC spokesman acknowledges that American companies can only speculate on how quickly an Eastern European market for computers can develop.

Digital finally follows a trend

Article Abstract:

DEC announced, at the 1990 DEC World trade show, that the company is offering client-server computing because of what some analysts see as an effort to take advantage of the current trend in the computer industry. Client-server computing, also known as distributed or network computing, does away with a single, central mainframe or minicomputer and strings together workstations, microcomputers and larger server computers through a local area network. Many analysts believe client-server computing to be the wave of the future but DEC has been hesitant to offer it to its customers. DEC's stock closed at $84.875 a share on Jul 13, 1990, and was up 87.5 cents for the week.
