| Toshiba Info to Set Up Microsoft BackOffice Center
|
|
March 5, 1998 (TOKYO) -- Toshiba Information Equipments Co., Ltd.
decided to establish a BackOffice Migration Center (BOMC), a
technical support group to manage the migration of software
assets of office computers to client-server systems based on
Microsoft Corp.'s BackOffice.

Microsoft Co., Ltd. of Japan encourages the establishment of
BOMCs as a part of its strategy to widen its office computer
dealer network.
Toshiba Information, which is a fully owned subsidiary of Toshiba
Corp., is a computer-related equipment distributor.
Technical support will be provided to TIE's systems engineers,
office computer distribution dealers and value added resellers
(VARs). Uchida Yoko Co., Ltd., Kyudenko Corp. and Sumisho
Computer Systems Corp. have already established BOMCs and Toshiba
Information will be the fourth company to do so.
Toshiba Information's BOMC, to be set up at its headquarters
facilities, will have 14 engineers with expertise in application
software, databases, networking and development languages. It
will start operations on April 1.
The new BOMC is expected to handle consultations at the time of
migration to BackOffice-based systems and development of
industry-type business packages for small to medium-sized
businesses. Also, it will provide technical education for
computer dealers and VARs. Microsoft will cooperate in the
operation of the BOMC, and it will offer advance information on
its product releases and provide support in product marketing.
