Item 2.Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

          On December 31, 1998, we sold our ijob, Inc. subsidiary to
DCM Company, Inc., a corporation wholly owned by David C. Mitchell,
the President and a member of the Board of Directors of ijob at the
time of the sale.  Our ijob subsidiary operated our Web-based human
resources application asset.  The sale of ijob represents another step
in our effort to shed non-core assets and focus on the development of
our viaLink services.  We organized ijob in April 1997 to operate
ijob.com, a human resources recruiting application.
     
          DCM purchased all of the outstanding stock of ijob from us
in exchange for a secured, ten-year, $800,000 promissory note that
accrues interest at a rate of 8% per annum.  DCM is obligated to pay
the note in full upon the occurrence of certain events, including,
among other things, in the event that Mr. Mitchell ceases to own at
least 51% of DCM.  The note is collateralized by principally all of
the fixed assets, contract rights, accounts receivable and general
intangibles of ijob.

           The pro forma consolidated statement of operations attached
as  Exhibit  99.1 hereto is intended to illustrate the effect  of  the
sale  of  our  ijob subsidiary, as well as the sale of our  consulting
business  to The Netplex Group, Inc. effective September 1,  1998  and
are  based on available information and certain assumptions  which  we
believe  are  reasonable.   These assets  accounted  for  90%  of  our
historical revenues.


Subsequent Event

          On March 11, 1999, we received $800,000 from DCM in full
payment of the promissory note we were issued by DCM upon our sale of
ijob.  We have released all security interests which we held pursuant
to the Security and Pledge Agreement in the fixed assets, contract
rights, accounts receivable and general intangibles of ijob.


Item 7.Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and
       Exhibits

       (b)  Pro forma financial information

          The pro forma consolidated statement of operations included
          as Exhibit 99.1 hereto is provided to illustrate the effect
          on our historical financial statements of the sale of ijob
          on December 31, 1998, as well as the sale of our consulting
          business effective September 1, 1998.
          
          For more information on the sale of our consulting business,
          please refer to our Current Report on Form 8-K dated October
          16, 1998.
