In addition to the software, the company introduced a comprehensive information technology outsourcing service which provided customers with hardware, software and maintenance service for all computer hardware and software needed by clients.

    In 1994, the company completed several years of development work and introduced its complete financial management package, designed to run in UNIX on the IBM RISC 6000 family of computers. This software is capable of providing all the necessary programs and functionality needed in a full service financial institution at significant savings.
