IBM Corp has decided to hand over support of its point-of-sale systems in the US to Eastman Kodak Co, Rochester, New York: the two will develop a dedicated store systems service organisation to provide maintenance service on current and future IBM point of sale products. The alliance will also study the possibility of providing service to other high-volume products, such as IBM and multi-vendor workstations, and will explore creation of a joint venture between IBM and Kodak to pursue the business; the aim is to exploit Kodak’s existing infrastructure and service expertise in the US.
