Invites you to a presentation on

Building a corporate multinational network:
Experiences from the pre-NII era

 Featuring

Claiborne H. Johnson, Jr.  
Corporate Vice President, EDS

On Wednesday, September 14, 1994, 3-4 PM
at 60 Barrows Hall, U.C. Berkeley

The proposed National Information Infrastructure (NII) and the
"information superhighway" are being widely discussed today as important
facilitators for future geographic expansion of businesses. As businesses
ramp up to the use of the NII, they would do well to remember and take
advantage of the experiences that several corporations have had over the
years in building and using digital networks to support geographically
dispersed operations.  In this talk, Dr. Johnson will summarize his
experiences at EDS during the time he was in charge of the division that
built and operated EDS*NET - one of the world's largest hybrid
public/private digital networks - providing all network services, data,
voice and image communications for EDS customers, including General
Motors. 

 Dr. Claiborne Johnson, Jr. is Corporate Vice President in charge
of Technology Assessment for the Communications Industry Group at
Electronic Data Systems Corporation (EDS). He is joining the Center for
Information Technology & Management as its interim Executive Director in
Fall 94.
