Hewlett P. $10M base
Wellington reporter The opening of a SIOM building in Wellington represented the growing commitment ol Hewlett Packard to New Zealand, said the company’s executive vice-president, Mr Richard Alberding, at the opening ceremony. Mr Alberding said the New Zealand company did not want to be characterised as just another importer. Its strategy was to add value locally. The Deputy Prime Minister, Mr Palmer, opened the building by pressing a computer tab which instantly told him that Halley’s comet was then 62,153,606 km away.
Mr Palmer said that Parliament was “technologically retarded” and that Cabinet had approved in principle a major project to rectify that situation. The project was designed to modernise and automate the office systems in Parliament by developing up-to-date communications and information systems. Advertisements had been placed inviting companies to tender for providing such a system.
