ACT Financial Systems has been awarded a UKP10m contract by the National Westminster Financial Investment Services group for its Quasar Investment software running across a wide area network hosted by two DEC VAX 9000s: the VAX machines will be installed at a centre in Bristol networked to offices throughout the country; 1,000 users will access the system via personal computers using a Quasar windowing user interface; the system is scheduled to go live during 1992.
