For The Record

I noted with interest your February article entitled "An In-House Computer Can Bring More Hardware Turns."

In that article Mr. John SaYers, marketing director of Triad Computer Systems, points out that the Dataline Corporation, one of his primary competitors, supplies software (program) packages while Triad differs by providing software and hardware.

I would like to point out that Mr. Sayers is wrong. The real difference between Dataline Corporation and Triad is the fact that Triad, after considerable success in the automotive parts after market, has, fairly recently, invaded the building supply market.

This lack of knowledge is evident in his statement implying that Dataline provides only software packages. So for edification and the benefit of your readers, who may have been mislead, I would like to set the record straight.

Dataline was started over a decade ago when it became clear that the larger computer companies of that time considered the building supply industry either too unsophisticated or not worth the development of a truly interactive information processing system.

From those early beginnings, Dataline Corporation has been committed to the development of one system, both hardware and software, for the building supply industry. Total yearly sales of the system have doubled nearly every year of the company's existence. Down through the years, thanks to the advice and counsel of people in the industry, both hardware and software modifications have greatly enhanced the Dataline system. In other words, a computer system developed and tested in the building supply industry logically should be the best in the market.

Today, Dataline still provides the most comprehensive management information system exclusively to on6 market-the building suirply industry. The system is a complete turnkey operation. That means, Dataline provides all software, hardware, service, installation, and training. From a hardware manufacturing facility in Wilton, Ct.,Dataline secures components to make up its system from major reputable firms such as Digital Equipment Corp., General Electric, and Hazeltine Corp. These firms back their product with a host of service centers coast to coast complementing Dataline's own service network.

Mr. Sayers need only to look at his home state of California to find over 25 building supply operations using both Dataline hardware and software. As a matter of fact, further investigation will reveal that many of the features newly introduced by Triad to the building supply industry have been on the Dataline system for years,
