Systems Corp. Announces Addition of Second Building

Systems Corp. announced today the completion of a second building at its Beige, Kansas headquarters. The structure, designated Building 2, is located adjacent to Building 1 on the company’s existing parcel and will serve as the permanent home of the newly established Research & Other division, effective November 1, 1989. Groundbreaking took place on April 3, 1989, with construction proceeding on schedule through the summer months. The building was delivered to Systems Corp. on September 29 and has passed all applicable municipal inspections.

Building 2 was constructed in approximately the same style as the original facility, though it is slightly smaller in total square footage and has one fewer window. The exterior finish is consistent with the existing structure. Interior improvements include standard fluorescent lighting, a west wing suitable for division offices, and a second-floor storage area adequate for filing purposes. A locked filing cabinet has been installed in Room 117, which will serve as the office of the incoming division director. Electrical capacity is sufficient for current needs. Parking has been expanded by twelve spaces to accommodate the anticipated increase in personnel.

The Research & Other division will be led by Delores H. Ashworth, formerly a senior analyst in the Mainframe Services division, where she served since the company’s founding in 1987. Mrs. Ashworth’s transfer was approved by the Office of the Chief Executive pursuant to an internal directive dated August 22, 1989. The division’s mandate, as described in the establishing memorandum, is to investigate matters of interest to Systems Corp. and to perform other duties as assigned. Raymond S. Tully has been engaged to join the division as a researcher, with a start date in early 1990.

“We are pleased to expand,” said a representative from the Office of the Chief Executive. “The addition of Building 2 provides adequate capacity for the company’s present organizational requirements. We do not anticipate expanding further.” The company’s headcount at the time of the announcement stands at fourteen full-time employees across three divisions: Mainframe Services, Logistics, and the forthcoming Research & Other. Mainframe Services continues to provide quarterly maintenance to a regional insurance company and has recently begun serving a grain elevator cooperative. The Logistics division, under the direction of Mr. Kestrel, Vice President of Logistics, completed the loading dock earlier this year and conducted the inaugural fleet dispatch from the Beige facility in July.

Systems Corp. has been providing systems since 1987.
