Speaking at the 22nd annual general meeting of the Great Britain-based National Computing Centre Ltd. (NCC), chairman John Ashworth reported a £618000 surplus for the year ending April 1988, after paying for the Centre's National Role' activities-easily breaking the previous record, in the year ending April 1987, of £388,000. During the financial year, he singled out for mention the increased public interest in open systems; the NCC had secured a hat trick by winning the three major contracts awarded by the Corporate for Open Systems in the U.S., worth three million dollars. Ashworth said, "We are getting ourselves into better shape to seize the opportunities that the 1990's will present. We need to help our members meet the challenges that the next decade will bring; not least the introduction of the Single European Market. We do not have to look across the Channel to be reminded that information technology can give an enterprise a competitive edge. In this country, companies that have been willing to take the plunge and introduce electronic data interchange as part of their everyday operations are winning business ahead of their competitors." |
