Keywords: Software Message-ID: <4531@brazos.Rice.edu> Date: 29 Jan 90 14:32:39 GMT Sender: root@rice.edu Organization: Sun-Spots Lines: 16 Approved: Sun-Spots@rice.edu X-Sun-Spots-Digest: Volume 9, Issue 16, message 13 of 18 *PLEASE HELP ME CONVINCE THE CONTROLLER SUN IS THE WAY TO GO, NOT IBM!!* We are currently considering purchasing a Sun/4 to run interactive A/P, G/L, labor distribution, job cost system, and Fixed Assets. We are looking for a company which is similar to ours that has already done this. We are a research laboratory for a Fortune 23 company. We have approximately 12,000 G/L accounts and do about 120,000 A/P transactions per year. Although we do R&D we also resemble an electronic manufacturing operation and deal with cost accounting. We would greatly appreciate the opportunity to talk with any operation with any similarities. Thank you in advance. Marie T.
