- Wayne Krakau Will Speak To DPMA Chapter
- on Trends and Opportunities In Networking
-

- When: Thursday, December 10, 1992

-
- There's a revolution under way in computer organizations
- across the country. In increasing numbers, data processing
- departments are "downsizing" or "rightsizing," moving from
- mainframe computers to networks of workstations, PCs, and mid-
- range systems. Is this a fad or the irresistible wave of the
- future?
-
- Wayne Krakau, a partner in Krakau Business Computer Systems,
- Des Plaines, Illinois, will talk on Trends and Opportunities in
- Networking to the Northern Illinois Chapter of the Data
- Processing Management Association (DPMA), at their monthly
- meeting on Thursday, December 10, 1992, at the Tollgate Inn, at
- I-88 and Route 31 North, Aurora, Illinois, at 7:45 PM.
-
- Downsizing (or rightsizing) has become the DP buzzword for
- the 90's; meaning LANs, WANs, workstations, servers, bridges,
- routers, distributed processing, and client-server networks.
- Some computer pros see opportunity, while others see danger; is
- this a field of dreams or a minefield of nightmares? Krakau will
- focus on what it takes, and what you need to know, to make this
- compelling technology work and deliver the promised cost savings
- and productivity improvements, and at the same time avoid the
- pitfalls and potholes. Krakau has been guiding companies through
- this transition -- or new installation -- process since this new
- wave started eight years ago.
-
- Krakau Business Computer Systems is a systems integration
- firm and Novell Gold Authorized and Lantastic Authorized Dealer,
- located at 9670 Dee Road, Des Plaines, Illinois, and may be
- reached at (708) 298-7695.
