Morningside College, in my neck of the woods, uses Aptron on UniVerse. The Aptron web site likely says how many customer sites they have. There are some interesting stories in the history of Aptron, though I know only a little about it.
1) Deb Atkinson Perry, an IBM U2 Sales person now, was the President of the AIMS group when I evaluated the product prior to licensing Datatel software. She had been a user until some users bought out the company when it was otherwise folding. 2) AIMS from Aptron and Colleague from Datatel started with the same code. I do not know the story of how there was a split where the product was developed by two companies independent of each other after some point (if anyone does, I'm curious). After some of the problems that AIMS had in competing with Datatel, several AIMS customers switched to Colleague (Regis University, for example). 3) When choosing where to go from Prime Information, AIMS chose UniVerse and Datatel chose UniData. As for companies using UniVerse, I have worked with a wholesale plumbing and heating company that had Intuit as their VAR, using the Intuit Eclipse product. I suspect that VAR has quite a few customers. --dawn On 4/27/07, Drew Henderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
One of the schools out there (can't recall for sure if it was UC-B) used to run Prime Information on Prime systems. One of the admins out there hosted the info-prime list (the predecessor to this group, IIRC.) Aptron sells the AIMS education management software (we've been running it since 1981: Prime Information/Primos -> Universe/HP-UX -> Universe/Linux; in the process of moving to Colleague) that runs under Universe.
