KPMG PEAT MARWICK BECOMES NeXT SYSTEMS INTEGRATOR
KPMG to build reusable NEXTSTEP objects for key markets
Palo Alto, Calif., September 8, 1993 - KPMG Peat Marwick announced
today that the Firm would provide a broad range of systems
integration services focusing on NEXTSTEP, NeXT Computer, Inc.'s
object-oriented software.
KPMG has announced plans to develop reusable object libraries.
Currently, more than one hundred firms are shipping ObjectWare,
reusable objects for NEXTSTEP. KPMG will be one of the first
companies to focus on specialized object kits for vertical markets.
This technology will provide a great opportunity for KPMG's systems
integrators and consultants to develop custom software and
services. KPMG will be developing object libraries for customers
in three principal markets: telecommunications, healthcare and
financial services. For the initial phase of the KPMG/NeXT
relationship, KPMG will begin training engineers on NEXTSTEP
starting in September.
"Object-oriented development is changing the way leading systems
consulting firms will develop software for their key customers. It
allows developers to build reusable applications and reusable
vertical market components. We believe that NEXTSTEP provides us
with an excellent opportunity to provide our customers with the
benefits of object-orientation," said Roger Siboni, KPMG's National
Director of Information and Communications.
"KPMG Peat Marwick has been a leader in the use of
object-orientation to deliver advanced software solutions to its
worldwide customer base. We are extremely pleased that KPMG is
adopting NEXTSTEP as a key tool for its '90's consulting practice,"
said Warren Weiss, NeXT's Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
