IBM's PS-2, OS-2: nothing treasurers should rush out to buy

Article Abstract:

Only large users of IBM mainframes need to consider utilizing the PS-2 family of computers to improve retrieval and analysis of main business information system data. The PS-2 group, including models 30, 50, 60, and 80, does not represent a replacement for the PC family in the foreseeable future. PS-2 internal design precludes use of standard peripherals in all but the model 30, giving user access to only a limited number of expansion boards and requiring conversion of all program disks to a 3.5-inch floppy format. IBM PC clones such as Compaq will remain viable alternatives, as Compaq continues its strategy of supporting the predominant industry standard at a lower price than IBM.

Article Abstract:

Decision support systems (DSS) are a relatively new kind of decision-oriented software that can help treasurers make the best possible decisions. DSS software packages use advanced statistical and mathematical techniques. They enable users to accomplish such functions as building decision matrices and performing sensitivity analyses, constructing linear programming problems, or constructing decision trees with superior graphics.
