We note that the audit opinion expressed in the report of independent registered public accounting firm on page F1 indicates that it is for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2004.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note B - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

[2] Revenue Recognition, page F7

2. Your disclosure indicates that your sales arrangements may contain elements for software, maintenance, third party hardware and software, consulting services and licenses. For each type of multiple element arrangement, tell us whether you have established vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value to allocate the arrangement fee to the individual elements of your arrangements. If you have established VSOE of fair value, tell us how your accounting complies with SOP 97-2, paragraph 10, including SOP 98- 9. Further, tell us what consideration you gave to disclosing your policy for allocating the arrangement fee to multiple elements in accordance with SAB Topic 13.B Question 1.

3. Your disclosure on page 12 indicates that software maintenance includes hosting services. In these arrangements that contain hosting services, clarify whether your customers have the right to take possession of the software products and whether it is feasible for the customer to run the software on its own. Tell us how you consider EITF 00-3, paragraphs 5 and 6, when determining whether your arrangements that contain hosting services are within the scope of SOP 97-2. In this regard, tell us how you account for and how your disclosure addresses software arrangements that include hosting services and those that do not, and the authoritative literature that you apply.

4. We note that some of your arrangements involve custom software development that requires you to provide significant production, customization or modification services. Your disclosure in the notes to financial statements indicates that you recognize custom software development services separately from the software and recognize the custom software development services using percentage of completion. We further note your disclosure in Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates on page 13 that for custom software development arrangements both the product license and consulting services revenue are recognized together as work progresses. Please reconcile these statements by indicating whether the services are accounted for separately from the software. If services are accounted for separately, tell us how you meet the criteria discussed in paragraph 65 of SOP 97-2. Further, clarify whether you measure progress to completion under the percentage of completion method using labor hours as disclosed on page 13 or specific milestones as disclosed on page F7. Tell us how you have considered paragraphs 78 through 91 of SOP 97-2 when determining the appropriate measure to use for your arrangements. 5. We note from page 13 that you recognize revenue, in part, when the determination that collection of a fixed or determinable fee is reasonably assured. Tell us whether collection must be probable in order to recognize revenue in accordance with paragraph 8 of SOP 97- 2. We further note, based on your disclosure on page 19, that you offer extended payment plans in some of your arrangements. Tell us how you consider collectibility in determining whether revenue should be recognized and paragraphs 26 through 29 of SOP 97-2 when determining whether your arrangement fee is fixed and determinable.

6. We note on page 19 and page 10 of your Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, that you have recognized revenue from barter transactions. Tell us the non-monetary assets that you transfer in your barter transactions and how you determine fair value of these assets. Clarify how you have considered the provisions of paragraphs 25 and 26 of APB 29 and EITF 93-11 when accounting for your barter transactions. Further describe your policy for recognizing the expense for the advertising or other non-monetary assets that you receive in the transactions. Also, tell us how you have considered the disclosure requirements of paragraph 28 of APB 29 for your barter transactions.

Item 8A. Disclosure Controls and Procedures, page 41

7. Your disclosure states that "under the supervision and with the participation of management, as of September 30, 2004, the Certifying Officers evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures". We further note your disclosure on page 24 of your Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 that states "under the supervision and with the participation of management, the Certifying Officers evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures within 90 days prior to the filing date of this report." Item 307 of Regulation S-B and Rule 13a-15(b) require that the effectiveness of disclosure procedures and controls be assessed as of the end of the period covered by the report. Revise accordingly.

8. We note your disclosure that you "have not made any significant changes to [y]our internal controls subsequent to the date of the Evaluation Date." We also note a similar disclosure in your Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 in which you indicate that there were no significant changes in your internal controls or other factors subsequent to the date of your officer`s evaluation. Consistent with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act, please revise to definitively state whether there has been any change in your internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with your evaluation that occurred during the period that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect your internal control over financial reporting. See Section II.F.4 of Release No. 33-8238 for additional guidance. *****
