The parent group, Perkin-Elmer Corporation, a scientific instrument company based in the United States, will offer the public up to 20 per cent of the new computer manufacturer. The company makes 32-bit superminicomputers running the proprietary operating system, OS32, or Zelos version of Unix. The new name is supposed to stress the company's commitment to parallel processing, the combining or two or more Perkin-Elmer superminicomputers into a single system to provide the comparable performance to mainframe computers. The flying visit to Sydney last week by Perkin-Elmers vice president for international sales and service, Mr Bill Feldman, probably did little to allay the alarm of the highly successful Australian company.

In Australia, Perkin-Elmer Data Systems has heavily promoted the trading name, Perkin-Elmer Computers, in costly television and newspaper advertising. The original campaign promoted the Australian half of the name, Perkin. The decision to turn Perkin-Elmer Data Systems into a separate company reflects trading conditions in the United States, not Australia. While Perkin-Elmer has built up a profitable business in scientific instruments and equipment in the United States, the computer range has failed to achieve the market penetration it hoped for.

Burroughs has sealed a $1 million contract with Hardie Trading Ltd, a division of James Hardie Industries', to replace the distribution company's centralised computer system with a distributed data processing network connecting 15 sites around Australia. Included in the contract for the decentralised network are 63 Burroughs' B26 microcomputer workstations and several XE520 shared resource processors. The integrated distribution package, called Solutions and provided by Computer Management Services of Sydney, will be used to knit Hardie Trading's offices into a nationwide network based on dedicated land-lines and Austpac's packet-switched data network.

"This has been due to the computer business being seen as only a part of a large diversified Concurrent Computer Corporation represented million in sales as part of the Perkin-Elmer Corporation in the past fiscal year. It operated as the Perkin-Elmer Data Systems Group from 1974 to 1985 before which it was called Interdata Inc. Mr James Sims will head the new company as president and chief executive officer. Mr McDonnell told securities analysts in New York the new company was being formed to provide a clearer path for future growth in the computer field.

He said Perkin-Elmer at the moment has 99 per cent of the Concurrent Computer Corporation while one per cent had been sold to the new company's management. Further shares had been set aside for later purchase by the management as part of a stock option plan. It will sell enough shares in Concurrent to the public to create a market for its securities.
