Kirchman signs development pact.

Kirchman Corp. signed a development agreement to run its integrated banking software on Tandem Computers Inc.'s computing platform.

Kirchman Corp. sells software primarily to the community and regional banking segments of the market. Tandem's computers are installed, particularly in larger banks, for on-line transaction processing applications such as ATMs, point of sale, and wire transfers.

Shipments are scheduled to start in summer 1994, initially in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and Australia.

Tandem, which is headquartered in Cupertino, Calif., established a special business unit in Kirchman's home base of Orlando to support the agreement.
