6C The NAPA VALLEY REGISTER Tuesday, March 22, 1994 Microsoft dominance challenged by Novell ComputerLand changes name along with business direction bundle their word processing, spreadsheet and database products together, selling them in what are known as "suites." Bruce Lupatldn, an analyst at San Francisco investment firm Hambrecht Quist, said Novell didnt want to be the odd man out in the suite business. This clearly changes the landscape, but how it does that and when it does that are questions that remain, said Lotus spokesman Richard Eckel. In addition to its desire to get into the suite market, Novells move comes in response to Microsofts encroachment on its core business: programs that link PCs in networks. Microsofts Windows NT operating system, which went on sale last summer, has features comparable to Novells flagship Netware product. Both Novell and privately held WordPerfect are based near Salt Lake City and have comparable low-key corporate cultures.

NOTICE PUBLIC NOTICE and 40 company-owned stores selling PCs to individuals and small businesses throughout the nation. After the sale, ComputerLand began to offer services for its business clients. But Tauscher didnt think retailing was the companys future. Computer buyers were increasingly savvy, relying less on salesmen and more on their own knowledge and on bargains at computer superstores." ComputerLand lost sales as such stores came to dominate the retail market. "We looked at our hand and said, Weve got a problem.

Weve got to change, or were gone, Tauscher said. "We decided we wanted to sell to large companies a family of services that someone was going to (need) with those PCs. So in 1991 and 1992, ComputerLand bought most of its American franchises in every major city. It also made two major acquisitions to further its corporate sales-and-service strategy. ComputerLand in 1991 bought NYNEX Business Centers, the computer-selling unit of the regional phone company.

That acquisition gave ComputerLand a nationwide help desk for computer users. The following year, ComputerLand bought TRW Inc.s customer service division. The division, one of the nations biggest computer maintenance companies, gave ComputerLand 13,000 service customers, many of them large corporations. ComputerLand has an honest understanding of the problems and challenges it faces. The main challenge is a carefully managed implementation if its strategy.

Providing the right kind of products and services and doing it in a way that is profitable to these organizations. Analyst Lee Levitt ucts and services and doing it in a way that is profitable to these organizations. Two outsourcing agreements announced Tuesday with Microsoft Corp. and IBM subsidiary Integrated Systems Solutions Corp. show that Vanstar is on the right track, Tauscher said.

The agreements represent more than $200 million of the privately held companys estimated sales of $1.2 billion. Vanstar, based in Pleasanton, began preparing for the switch from retail after Tauscher led a group of investors that bought ComputerLand in 1987. At the time, the company had 760 computer store franchises. Economic update Trade deficit grows wider in Januaiy By MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON Americas monthly trade deficit, widened sharply in January as a big drop in sales of aircraft and telecommunications equipment caused exports to fall by the largest amount on record, the government said today. The Commerce Department said that the trade deficit in both goods and services jumped 51.8 percent ih Januaiy to $8.30 billion, up from Decembers deficit of $4.15 billion.

That worsening occurred despite the fact that the government for the first time included trade in services in its monthly report. America enjoys surpluses in the service category, which includes such things as tourism, transportation and insurance, unlike merchandise trade, where it runs perennial deficits. The surplus in the services category did rise in Januaiy by a slight $130 million to $4.73 billion. However, that small gain was wiped out by a $2.28 billion widening of the deficit in goods, which jumped 28 percent to $11.03 billion. The total trade deficit, $8.30 billion, is the sum of the surplus in services and the deficit in goods.

Commerce Department officials denied that their motivation for adding services to the monthly trade report was an effort to make America's trade performance look less bleak at a time when private forecasters are expecting the merchandise deficit to worsen sharply. They said the reason the change was made was to recognize the fact that services were playing an Increasing role in America sales overseas, now accounting for almost one-third of total exports. Private economists generally supported the change, although they said financial markets, which can be easily roiled by trade reports, are likely to continue focusing on the old trade series until they become more familiar with the new report. Under the old accounting method, which measured merchandise trade in a slightly different way, the January goods deficit would have been $9.84 billion, compared to a revised December deficit $7.37 billion, which had been the smallest trade imbalance in a year. The new trade report including goods and services still gives its country-by-country breakdown using only trade in goods.

Analysts say they do not have enough Information on services, which are estimates, to provide country by country details yet. The United States continued to suffer the highest goods deficit with Japan, although the imbalance narrowed by 12.9 percent in January to $4.62 billion, the smallest monthly trade gap with Japan since June of last year. Market up slightly NEW YORK (AP) The stock market was narrowly higher today as the Federal Reserves policy setting Open Market Committee met to discuss the economy and monetary policy. At 2 p.m. on Wall Street, the Dow Jones industrial average was up 1.15 points at 3,866.00.

Volume on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange was 185.81 million shares. Advancing shares outnumbered declines 5 to 3 on the NYSE, with 1,072 up, 918 down and 719 unchanged. The NYSE composite index was up 0.08 at 259.99, while on the American Stock Exchange, the market value index was up 0.15 at 470.92. The Nasdaq composite index was down 0.89 at 796.41. Mostly traders were unwilling to make any major moves until they know for sure whether the Fed will decide to tighten credit, market watchers said.

At midday a Fed spokesman said the committee had not yet discussed monetary policy, focusing instead on the economy. Many analysts expect the Fed to tighten credit again soon, as they did in early February for the first time in five years. That move set off a one-day drop in the Dow of 96 points, then a steady climb in Interest rates. Bond prices were slightly higher amid the uncertainty, pushing down interest rates, which move in the opposite direction. 4 ByEVANRAMSTAD AP Business Writer PHOENIX Novell challenged last year by Microsoft Corp.

in the computer networking business, is now mounting a threat to Microsofts dominance of the markets for word processing and spreadsheet software. Novell announced Monday a $1.4 billion stock-swap merger with WordPerfect maker of the leading word processor, a move that solidifies its No. 2 position in personal computer software. Novell also said it would spend $145 million to buy Borland International Inc.s Quattro Pro spreadsheet line. Novell plans to package the programs, known as applications because they perform specific functions for personal computers, as a unit to sell to businesses and consumers.

ComputerLand once a vendor of PCs to consumers and small businesses, became Van-star Inc. today. The renamed company will sell computers and computer-related services solely to businesses. "The dirty little secret of PCs" is one reason for the big change, said William Y.

Tauscher, Van-stars chairman and chief executive officer. The cost of hardware and software is going down, but the cost of running them is going up, he said. As more and more businesses cut their own workforces, they are realizing its cheaper and easier to outsource, or hire another company to buy and fix their computers, set up and maintain computer networks and train employees to use the machines, Tauscher and industry analysts say. They also agree that Vanstars success depends less on vision than execution. ComputerLand has an honest understanding of the problems and challenges it faces, said Lee Levitt, an analyst with International Data Corp.
