[comp.unix.i386] Help Us Automate Our Office!

adnan@sgtech.UUCP (Adnan Yaqub) (12/06/89)

Growth is upon us here at Star Gate, and the time has come for us to
automate our office.  And this provides all of you a unique opportunity to
help us!  We are looking for a package, packages, or a company that
will provide us with the following (all integrated together):
	1) applications to assist accounting
	2) applications to assist sales
	3) applications to assist engineering
	4) applications to assist inventory control and purchasing
The software must run over Unix.  At this point, cost is no object.
(That's right; if it does what we want, we are willing to pay for it.)

We have contacted some of the biggies, like Oracle, and they told us
to go talk to the application developers (i.e., we are too small for
them to waste their time with us).  Our problem is that there are so
many application developers.  So (and this is where you all fit in)
can anybody recommend anything or anyone to us?  If you have an
experience in automating an office, we want to here from you. All
email replies gladly accepted.

  I have heard that SBT has an accounting package that runs under Xenix using
Foxbase...  But I have no idea of how well it works.  The only vendor I know
of who sells SBT & Xenix (Unix as well? Dunno... haven't talked to him
recently...)  is MicroAge Computers, in Sunnyvale.  Their address:
  MicroAge Computers
  544 N. Lawrence Expwy.
  San Jose, CA    94086 (probably, but not certainly the zip code)

  Their business is also running off the SBT/Xenix/Foxbase combination, so
it works at least mostly.

We are currently running SCO Xenix 2.3.3 (GT) with SCO foxbase and SBT
accounting (General Ledger, AR/AP, Payroll, etc.)  The system works very
well and is easy to modify for custom needs.  I can vouch for it and offer
assistance to anyone needing it.
