ALX-COMET standard software suite now also runs under Windows 95 and
Windows NT

October 16, 1995 -- MUNICH. VERSION 2.1 OF THE ALX-COMET CLIENT/SERVER
SOLUTION FROM SIEMENS NIXDORF INFORMATIONSSYSTEME AG NOW OFFERS ENHANCED
FEATURES. WITH PROGRAMS FOR ORDER ADMINISTRATION, MATERIALS MANAGEMENT,
ACCOUNTING AND PERSONNEL, AS WELL AS A FLEXIBLE, MICROSOFT TOOLS-BASED
REPORT SYSTEM, ALX-COMET SUPPORTS MODERN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
TECHNIQUES IN SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES. THE APPLICATION PLATFORM RUNS
AS A SERVER UNDER BOTH UNIX AND WINDOWS NT, AND NOW AS A CLIENT UNDER
WINDOWS 95.

The 'Reports' component in ALX-COMET Version 2.1 allows new analyses to be
run. In personnel accounting, for example, these include official casual
labor report forms, housing allowance applications, as well as educational
and earnings certificates. In materials management, the article account
information has been expanded. The 'Financial Accounting' component now
also supports hybrid current accounts for sub-ledger accounts that are
carried with either credit or debit balances, while the new note
accounting has been integrated into the 'Purchasing' module. This enables
the payment mode defaults that have been stored for a vendor to be
utilized during the interactive order entry process and on purchase order
forms. Now being offered in the 'Personnel Accounting' module are such new
features as payment of personal insurance premiums, integration of time
data capture systems or industry-specific sample wage and salary types.

At Systems '95 in Munich, Siemens Nixdorf partners premiered the first
client/server solutions for Windows '95 clients and either UNIX or Windows
NT servers. Also on display was a new industry solution, the SQL Blending
PPC module for the chemical industry. The heart of ALX-COMET consists of
industry-neutral solution modules for financial accounting, integrated
payment management, cost accounting, personnel accounting, time data
capture, sales, materials management and purchasing. These basic modules
are supplemented by numerous industry-specific solutions that have been
developed by Siemens Nixdorf partners. As a further highlight, the
Informix database and ALX-COMET is available in the form of a package
directly from Siemens Nixdorf at extremely attractive terms for small and
medium enterprises.
