Computers: Systems, Terms and Acronyms -- THE book -- is back!

Winter Park, FL, February 14, 2003 - Susan Hodges, the founder of SemCo Enterprises, Inc., announced today the company is bringing back its unique reference tool, the Computers: Systems, Terms and Acronyms (CSTA) book, by popular demand. This is the book tens of thousands of non-technical professionals have relied on since 1989 to explain technology in plain English. The current 14th edition is all new - new material, a new look, even a new size. The book is a companion to TechRef, SemCos online database of technical information and can be ordered now to ensure delivery in March. A special price for the book and TechRef combination is available for the first 250 orders.

As with previous editions, the CSTA book is divided into two parts. Part One consists of the narrative descriptions of computer systems. This edition includes 17 chapters that cover Information Technology, including categories such as applications, platforms, development, data and online. Material in these chapters includes the effect of the Internet, the emerging influence of wireless and embedded technology, the growth of knowledge management and business intelligence systems, and new storage management technologies. There is extended coverage of security systems, the use of artificial intelligence, and Web services and portals. This is where you start for a broad understanding of any IT system.

Part Two is the glossary for definitions of technical terms and acronyms. This glossary has been streamlined and now contains more than 3,200 generic definitions of standard terms and technologies. These are the words IT professionals use to describe the technologies they work with and the systems they create. In addition, it contains definitions of the most common products and tools used in IT. These definitions include the name and URL of the vendor. Part Two is where non-technical people go to understand specific IT buzz words.

All of SemCos offerings are unique because we offer tools and training geared specifically to the non-technical professional. Each attendee at our seminars will receive a copy of the new CSTA book, or the book can be purchased separately.
