We have always developed our own software to manage our financial
 systems, Accounts/Payable, Grants Admin/Cost Accounting functions
 etc.  We are in the process of redeveloping our systems to bring
 them up to date in terms of database systems and graphical user
 interfaces.  Dunn & Bradstreet and PeopleSoft have a suite of
 modules that include encumbrance based project accounting and we
 are going to be evaluating them.  Does anyone know of or use
 other off-the-shelf packages that have served them well?  Has
 anyone had any experience with either the Dun&Bradstreet or
 PeopleSoft packages?

     Thanks  Joann Cahill
