ANAHEIM, CA - Formula
Consultants Inc. (FCI) is pleased to announce the completion of the asset
purchase agreement with P2 Software, Inc. in which FCI has
acquired all rights, as well as the customer base, for the Biller-1100 and
TMS-2200 products. All customers with installations of these two products have
been notified of the acquisition; and that, going forward, FCI will continue
to provide complete and comprehensive technical service for all users with
up-to-date service agreements. Biller-1100
The
Biller-1100 computer billing system produces reports of computer resource
utilization for the Unisys 1100/2200 series Computers, and calculates
charges for the consumption of those resources. A cost center approach is
used to allocate charges for computer usage. Users are charged only for
their actual utilization of data processing resources.
Biller-1100
produces detailed listings of all run and file storage activity. Cataloged
mass storage, and either cataloged tapes or STAR-1100 owned tapes, are both
processed.
Some of the primary benefits of Biller-1100 are:
Run
charges from user specified runs, as well as file storage charges,
may be distributed across several accounts.
Charges
can be distributed from specified account to other accounts.
Provides
the ability to charge for any miscellaneous item, including
non data processing items, as either one-time or periodic
activity.
Adjustments
can be made for billing errors.
Integrates
activity from multiple hosts into a unified set of reports.
Requires
no changes to the Operating System (Exec).
Based
on customer surveys and user feedback, FCI plans to continue developing
enhancements and new features for the Biller-1100 product.

Biller inquiries or support, email FCI at biller@formula.com. TMS-2200
The
TMS-2200 product is a tape management system for the Unisys 1100, 2200, and
ClearPath environments. While TMS-2200 product support will continue for
TMS-2200 customers with up-to-date service agreements, FCI has announced
that TMS-2200 is a “capped” product – that is, no new enhancement or
feature development is planned.
FCI
encourages current customers of TMS-2200 who are looking for a more robust
and feature-rich upgrade to migrate to its STAR-1100 product.
STAR-1100 is continually under development, and remains the leading
product of its kind for tape storage and retrieval.

TMS-2200 inquiries or support, email FCI at tms@formula.com.
