OR NEI WORK.
Using an isolated personal computer in the modern office is rather like using
amegaphone to telephone.
The multitude of tasks and diversity of communications call for a radical new
approach.
ogica Networked Office Automation Systems.
ogica Networked Systems are revolutionising working procedures
by enabling users to pool resources.
Groups can now work together from consistent data, sharing information
and expensive hardware.
ogica offers two comprehensive systems which can be tailored to the
needs of all companies.
he Kennet Business Computer and the Polynet Office System.
The Kennet Computer is a powerful multi-function workstation with
advanced hardware architecture and a diversity of software.
For the first time, the Kennet range allows personal computer users to reap
all the benefits of local area networking.
he Polynet Office System, based on Logica’s own high speed local area
network, is a total system including all the hardware and software for text processing,
data processing and communications.
Its sophisticated network management service also facilitates the sharing of
extensive resources such as file storage and printing.
he benefit of both systems is that neither is confined to specialised groups
such as Accounts or the typing pool.

Both can be used effectively by casual users as well as professionals.
You can start with a single Kennet Computer or cluster using one processor
to drive several screens.
Or a Polynet Office System designed as a stand-alone advanced word
processor.
And since both systems use local area networks, you have a
smooth upgrade path for flexibility and growth in line with your needs.
What's more, there is no need to buy different equipment
for different jobs (personal computers, word processors, terminals etc.].
Logica is Britain’s leading independent software
consultancy and products company.
With subsidiaries in eight countries, we know all about
networks.
