Inkampani ezinze eCalifronia imemezele ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule ukudilizwa kwabasebenzi abangu-5.500 XNUMX ukuvala uphiko lwehardware futhi kugxilwe kuphela kwisoftware. Imiphumela yakamuva yezezimali isikhombisile ukuthi kanjani ukwahlukaniswa kwehardware kubuyele ezinombolweni ezithe xaxa, kanti isigaba sesoftware sikhule ngo-20% uma kuqhathaniswa nonyaka owedlule.
Inkampani ithathe isinqumo sokuthatha leso sinqumo yize izuze inzuzo ecishe ibe yizigidi eziyi-11.000.
