VideoSBT has taken a different direction. Rather than upgrading its FoxPro-based Pro Series accounting software, SBT decided to take a leap in functionality by acquiring a high-end client/server accounting suite from PowerCerv Corp., which it now sells as Executive Series. The system is written in Sybase Corp.'s PowerBuilder, and the PowerBuilder source code is available for the Executive Series, just as the FoxPro source code is available for the Pro Series. However, although the PowerCerv modules have a lot of functionality, SBT will have to work to make them into an integrated whole, says Richard Dance.
John J. Xenakis is technology editor of CFO.
