The publisher, John Wiley & Sons
Provides a ``one-stop shopping'' resource for information systems executives and associated professionals interested in current developments in the field. Provides comprehensive coverage of the technologies and approaches used by information systems implementors in a multi-vendor and multi-architecture context. Addresses many of the current hot issues associated with mainframes, minis, PCs, LANs, standards, and inter-operability in an open manner while maintaining that the future of these technologies is predictable and can be taken into account in effective implementations. Offers descriptions of mainframe and personal computer solutions, including the recent introduction of the IBM S/370 models that use the IBM Microchannel architecture and S/370 and IBM PS/2 hybrid systems. With insights only an industry ``insider'' can provide, it can save the reader many hours of study and evaluation.
