Spectrum Press--Seamless Expansion

The capacity of the Programmed Solutions system was realized in late 1998 by the fact that, despite its recent strong growth, Spectrum Press was still operating with the original 20 computers that comprised the system in 1994.

The company is now upgrading its system to include a good number of Pentium-class machines to support Programmed Solutions' Version 10 software. Older 486 machines will be moved to the shop floor to serve as data collection points. In the process, Spectrum Press will move to full Microsoft NT and will install e-mail throughout the company.
