RE: iSeries based Accounting package

We also use the Infinium software. I'm not sure if it has the nonprofit
capabilities you are looking for, but I know that they do have some
government users, so I would guess that it does do what you need.
It does have a browser based front end call WebTop. It's not the
prettiest or fastest GUI you ever saw, but it does work.

It has been my experience that the Accounting/Payroll/HR software from
Infinium (originally Software 2000, eventually bought by SSA Global, now
owned by Infor) was the best package, with the best support from the
developers, that I ever worked with. Don't really know how it is today.

Sadly, the company I am with now does not have this platform.

Subject: iSeries based Accounting package

The college I work for is in the market for a new accounting/payroll/HR
package and I would like to keep it on the iSeries (we currently run
Lawson on the iSeries). One of the reasons we are looking to replace
Lawson is our need to be able to produce reports that are different from
the for-profit world. We are required to produce FASB (non-profit) and
GASB (government) accounting reports and an EEO-6 report that is unique
to Higher Education. Most manufacturing software does not deal with
these reporting needs. There are no iSeries packages specific to Higher
Education but anything designed for any non-profit or government
organization should work for us. Can anyone point me in the direction of
a iSeries accounting package designed for this type of organization?
And it will also have to have a GUI front-end or there is no possibility
of it being accepted.

Thanks
