I am still receiving responses regarding my recent post. It is clear to me
that there is no commercially available accounting software tailored
specifically to the needs of sponsored programs at present.

From what I have gathered so far, recent implementations of accounting
systems at universities have required various levels of customization,
modification, alteration, work-arounds, and/or varying degrees of
frustration to accomodate sponsored programs.

If anyone else can share other experiences different than this, please let
me know. I will respond directly to those who asked specific questions
sometime next week. Thanks for the responses so far!
