Description

Informix is the leading maker of fast, parallel-processing database technology for open systems. The annual report focuses on where the company, and more important, its customers, are going. To emphasize the recent nature and importance of the information, existing press clippings are used in place of copy written specifically for the report. An assemblage of photos accompanies the articles for each of the four areas of expertise highlighted.
