Dignus Solution

Livestock was
looking at renewing
their annual
mainframe version
of C at a huge
expense when
Dignus entered
with a
cross-platform
solution
including the
robust Systems/ASM.
Testing went on
for 3 months and at
the end a big "two
thumbs up" was
received for Dignus
products and support.

Now the Livestock
Improvement Corporation
uses a standard
PC to develop
their applications
at a fraction of
the previous cost.
