Our 12-year history in communications technology and services, coupled with our experience in the distributed computing environment, puts Inacom in the very best position to bring technologies together as effective client solutions." Under the program, Lucent will supply Inacom with DEFINITY ProLogix servers with basic configuration. Inacom will then perform final assembly processes at its Manufacturing and Customization Center in Omaha, Nebraska, according to each client's specific requirements. Assembly, shipment and installation of the servers is already underway. "Inacom Communications is well-known for its expertise in convergence technology," said Edison Peres, vice president of distribution development and management, Lucent Technologies.
