Micro - Power and Place
Article Abstract:
Over the last three years the microcomputer has started to make an impact on larger computer mainframe systems. The big problem facing business microcomputers is determining how to fully utilize the information generated by these many small independent microcomputers. The best answer is to develop a common syntax software system that can be used by all the computers in any hypothetical organization. Another answer is to distribute all the information generated by each unit throughout the organization to increase the maximum benefit from each information source.

Article Abstract:
