As computing technology evolves, Companies (especially blue-chip Companies that have been trading for many years) will find that their computing and information systems are serviced by an array of different platforms.  As new computer-systems are brought onto the market others begin to die away.  Digital Corporation's old workhorse, the VAX, is a perfect example.  The VAX was one of the massive success stories in the 1980's - with many big businesses (and even small businesses as prices dropped) basing their entire data-processing on VAX VMS systems.  As the processing power of low-cost CPU's rocketed in the 1990's, with Intel and Motorola (among others) doing battle, newer systems came onto the market providing Companies with cheaper and more powerful systems.  The net effect is, that business finds itself with a whole host of different, seemingly incompatible systems.  PPS software engineers have a wealth of experience in developing applications for a number of platforms and 2000 were able to deliver a single C++-based data-cleansing application that could be compiled on an OpenVMS VAX, a Solaris Unix box and even a WindowsNT PC with no code-changes whatsoever (Internal compiler directives were used to ensure machine-specific areas compiled for the different systems).

With this sort of experience, PPS can analyse your cross-platform requirements and provide advice, business analysis and cross-platform solutions that are cost-effective and reliable.  To discuss your business requirements, or even just ask for advice, contact us with details for your systems and/or enquiry.
