Hauppauge, N.Y. ,  March 4, 2003 / PRNewswire

Numeric Computer Systems, Inc. (NCS), an Intermec Technologies Corp. Platinum-level Honors Partner, has been recognized for outstanding partner contribution. NCS was honored for its consistent high performance in 2002 and its investment in the success of Intermec’s product lines. NCS, led by President Robert Hochberg, and Intermec have been partners since 1983. The award was presented at Intermec’s recent partner conference in Orlando, Fla.

This is the second year NCS has achieved Platinum-level status, the highest level of recognition within Intermec’s Honors Partner Program. Platinum partners are named on the basis of revenue performance, exemplary business behavior, superior software and integration capabilities, self-sufficient demand creation skills, and competencies in the markets they serve and the solutions they represent.

"For more than 20 years NCS has teamed with Intermec to deliver innovative and reliable solutions to the marketplace.  My father, Alan Hochberg, invented the first Host Route Accounting System in the marketplace in 1967 and it was a natural progression for NCS to partner with Intermec as it invented the first mobile Route Accounting System in the marketplace.  Both companies share a vision that is customer-centric and deliver solutions with integrity and a passion for the industry" Hochberg said.

“Intermec sets high standards for quality and customer care for the Honors program and the awards we bestow. We recognize that companies want to work with vendors they can trust and that will provide the best solution for their business situation,” said Intermec Executive Vice President Tom Miller. “Numeric Computer System embodies these qualities. NCS has been a leader and an innovator in a fast-changing market for years. We look forward to continuing to work together to deliver state-of-the-art solutions to our customers.”
