Apart from the odd foray across the Channel to France and back again, and the sterling work it has done over the years for the European Space Agency, ITL Information Technology Plc has achieved very little abroad over the years, but the Hemel Hemsptead company has now made something of a breakthrough in Belgium, where transaction processing systems integrator Prodata SA is so impressed with the the fault-tolerant features of ITL’s Momentum machines that it wants to add them to the ICL, Fortune Systems and Data General machines it offers for transaction processing, point-of-sale and electronic funds transfer applications. The deal is one of the first signed by ITL’s new unit formed to market its machines through indirect European channels. The Prodata Business Development division will initially be offering the Momentums in the Benelux countries, in Spaim and to the European Community headquarters in Brussels.
