Financial Accounting Systems

These Accounting Systems have evolved over the years.  They were initially developed in the early 1980's for mid sized companies utilizing Data General mini computers.  In the early 1990's they were ported to UNIX for a "green" screen environment.  Since the year 2002, they have been totally re-engineered to Microsoft Windows graphical environments.   Today, these systems can be run on either Windows NT sever based systems, Linux, SCO UNIX, HP-UX, AIX, Solaris, Linux on Power PC and others.

Data files are built as simple ISAM, or can be defined for Oracle, Informix, Sybase, DB2 or MSSQL.   (The ISAM files can be made ODBC compliant). 

All Accounting Systems are modular in nature, and interact with one another where applicable.  They each offer a consistent look and feel, and exploit the use of all Windows graphical  controls where possible.
