| Abstract: | The former segregation of corporate research labs from other units within the corporation is vanishing. The reasons and processes of integrating research computing with other corporate information systems are highlighted. Some companies have established physical links between VAX networks on the R and D side and SNA networks on the commercial side. Others have settled for dotted-line organizational links between the two sides. Distributed processing networks may help bring the two environments closer. Many R and D managers express fear that IS, with its roots in accounting systems, will stifle innovation. Some of the most important applications in industrial R and D are overvied in search of synergy. |
