- Thank you
- =========================================================================
- The ICON'93 Conference and Exposition will be held at the Hyatt Regency
- Alicante in Anaheim, California, March 9-11, 1993.
-
- To: All with an interest in Prime INFORMATION
- - as it was, as it is, as it will be.
- All with an interest in PI style data bases
- - UniVerse, Unidata, PI/Open, Pick-flavors.
- All with an interest in porting from Prime INFORMATION
- - "Main-Stream" databases, other options.
-
- The 10th Annual Information Conference for 1993 will be addressing all of
- these issues and more. With the demise of Prime Computer and the purchase
- of their INFORMATION product by VMark, all of us are now faced with
- decisions that will affect our businesses to some degree. Enough time has
- now passed sine Prime's announcements and the acquisition of PI/Open by
- VMark for all of us - End Users, VAR's, Vendors, Consultants,
- Manufacturers, Service Organizations and YOU - to reassess where we are
- today, where we may want to head, and how to get there from here.
-
- The questions remaining to be answered deal with your company and your
- professional future. Should I move to UNIX now or can I wait? Do I stay
- with a PI style database or do I go mainstream? What are the differences,
- good points and bad of SUN, IBM, Sequent, Data General, HP, Pyramid and
- the rest?
-
- These questions are the purpose of attending ICON'93. We plan to have the
- answers for you. We are now putting together all the pieces to provide
- you the opportunity to have the information you need to chart your
- course for the next steps that face us all.
-
- For those among us who plan to stay with PI on the Prime 50 Series for
- now, we will have the right people to address your concerns on extending
- the life of your investments in hardware and software. ICON'93 will show
- you several ways to stay or even grow with your present equipment.
-
- ICON'93 = INFORMATION
