Pyramid executive helped A.T.&T. win big contract

Article Abstract:

The US Treasury Department awards a $1.4 billion computer contract to AT&T, and the deal highlights the career of Edward W. Scott, Jr., of Pyramid Technology Corp, Mountain View, CA. Pyramid is AT&T's principal subcontractor in the arrangement with the Treasury Department, and it was Scott who negotiated the original agreement between Pyramid and AT&T in Oct 1989. Pyramid now has an order for 3,200 high-end computers, which will be used in Internal Revenue Service (IRS) offices nationwide. Pyramid's shares rose $3.75, to $18 on Monday, Jul 15, 1991, when the news was announced, and the stock increased another 75 cents on Tuesday. Scott, who is 53, came to Pyramid in Sep 1988. Analysts predict Pyramid's revenues will reach $220 million in 1991.
