- (Fort Lee, NJ, Mar. 18) -- Gilbert P. Williamson, chairman of the board and
- CEO of NCR Corporation, will provide his vision of a new way of computing
- on June 23, in his keynote address at the Tenth Annual PC EXPO in New
- York. The computer trade show takes place June 23-25, at the Jacob K.
- Javits Convention Center in New York City.
-
- Mr. Williamson will describe "The Future of the Industry -- A New Way of
- Computing," outlining the development in the immediate future of a
- worldwide, transaction-based economy linked by global computer networks
- with desktop systems in each corporation providing access to the
- technology resources of that enterprise.
-
- NCR is developing a suite of programs integrating applications, data,
- networks, and other resources. Mr. Williamson sees these working together
- in a cooperative computing environment -- networks of unlimited size
- providing users with detailed information.
-
- "Cooperative computing is the new way of computing -- a radical break with
- the past," said Mr. Williamson. "Cooperative computing is a key component
- in the growth of an electronic infrastructure enhancing global commerce
- and leading the information technology industry to a period of greater
- growth than in the past."
-

- Computing Resource of AT&T. Mr. Williamson joined NCR as a systems
- engineer in 1962. In 1986, Mr. Williamson was appointed executive vice
- president, and two years later was named president and appointed to the
- NCR board of directors.
-
- Mr. Williamson's address opens the PC EXPO show and conference program, the
- premier trade event for corporate volume buyers and resellers, featuring
- 70 sessions. Eight PC EXPO tutorials, all-day, information-intensive
- sessions, will take place on June 22.
