The Connection

This issue will be all about the processing of data – developing and implementing those all-important programs in support of mission critical transaction processing. In particular, the languages, tools methodologies, frameworks and much more that all play a role in creating the business logic necessary to process the data created by transactions. The two, data and processing have been linked since the very first computer was built and even today, there are those in the NonStop community that can recall being recruited to work in “data processing.” Of course, in the intervening years, so much has changed that, in order to remain competitive, businesses have long ago foregone the five and even three year planning cycles to where development and testing of business logic is now continuous.

It is with deep sadness that HPE announces one of our former HPE NonStop colleagues Esther Sanchez’s passing. Esther was a passionate advocate of the technology and culture of NonStop and had a long history with the platform from her Base24 customer experiences in Spain.
