[Athen] Do you use: Accommodate, Clockworks, Sam??

[Heidi Scher]

Thanks to everyone! Still looking for happy users of those systems. (Enjie,
I'll be contacting you today!) Was hoping to get some contacts. Am looking
to put together a panel presentation for AHEAD this summer with each person
discussing their office's database - what they like, why they chose it,
etc. This panel will be for those offices who are 'shopping' for a database
(or new database).  PLEASE contact me ASAP if you use one of these
databases and are going to AHEAD!!!!  hascher at uark.edu

We are currently using AIM which we have not plans on leaving.  We LOVE
AIM, the capabilities which are included, frequent updates with
new-and-improved versions, as well as great tech support!  Our admin staff
have access from outside of the campus network and we've all used various
tech to access it. We've used laptops, Macs, iPads, Android and iOS phones
- no problems.  AIM is web-based.

By the way, AIM was actually developed by Haris Gunadi, and while he and
Ron both were at OSU at the same time, not by Ron. (Ron gets blamed for WAY
too much ;-)

Thanks again!

Heidi
