I'm searching for an "off-the-shelf" computer system which will help
my training organization integrate, and make more efficient, our
various training administrative tasks (see below).

I've found a few systems that run on IBM PCs (e.g., Silton-Bookman
Systems Training Administration Software Modules) and on IBM PCs and
Macintoshs (e.g., "On Track for Training", DKSystems Inc.), but I have
not found any systems that can run on UNIX boxes under X-windows yet.
(In fairness to DKSystems, they may be able to run under X-windows by
spring 1993).

I have also found a bunch of system-building consultant companies who
are willing (for a nice fee, of course) to design and build a custom
system for me.

What I'm looking for, as stated previously, is an "off-the-shelf" (i.e.,
non-custom) system that will run under UNIX and with X-windows.  The
system should help my department with the following training administrative
tasks:

	1. Student registration

	   + Register for classes
	   + Wait lists (for filled classes)
	   + Inquiries on registration
	   + Confirmation letters

	2. Resource allocation/scheduling

	   + Rooms
	   + Instructors
	   + Materials
	   + Equipment

	3. Student/organizational data

	   + Training history (past)
	   + Training plans (future)
	   + Curricula
	   + Tuition reimbursement (from colleges & universities)

	4. Financial/Billing/Paying

	   + Vendors
	   + Charge-backs to student's department
	   + Tuition reimbursement

	5. Advertising

	   + Flyers
	   + Catalog
	   + Netnews

If you know of such a training administrative system that runs on UNIX
under X-windows, please send me email.  If possible, please provide
the following information:

	1. Name of system.
	2. Name of company.
	3. Phone number of company.
	4. Any comments you might have on the system.

I will post results to the net.  Thank you.
