Re: G/L packages

Good Morning to you!  I am sorry that I am slow getting back to you but the 
old e-mail has been piling up lately with all the massages that I get from the 
lists.

I would like to suggest to you a G/L package that is sold and supported by a 
company in Marietta, GA.  ALSI has a suite of financial packages that have 
been operating since the days of the s/34 but which are all very much native 
AS/400. 

These applications, which can be bought either as a suite or individually, 
are very clean and well designed applications. They are all very simple to 
configure.

There customer base (some 1000 companies) run from small to large and cover 
about every vertical market you can think of so I am sure that it will handle 
any problems that you can throw at. 

What I like best about the G/L package is that it has a built in report 
generator that lets the customer design the reports that they would like to be 
produced. This obviously reduces the life-to-death costs of the application 
because you don't have to modify the "base code" to produce a new report.  The 
design has also incorporated many audit functions in anticipation of the 
Sarbene-Oxley requirements.

Although I am proud to say that in a small way I help to design this package, 
I am currently not involved with them so I suggest you contact a Mr. Karl 
Touset at 770-578-6771 directly and ask him for any information that you need. 
He 
is out of town until Tuesday AM. I have left him a voice mail telling him 
that I have been in touch with you.

In closing let me make one more comment, the Lawsons, JED, People Soft, 
Infinium packages are functional but big and expensive. ALSI G/L package can to 
the 
job and I believe you will be very pleased at the price and that is truly 
where the rubber meets the road.

Sincerely Yours,
