99.1               Press Release of Marcam Corporation regarding earnings for 
                   the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 1997.



                MARCAM CORPORATION REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

     NEWTON, Mass., July 22, 1997 -- Marcam Corporation (NASDAQ:MCAM) today
reported revenues of $44.0 million for its third fiscal quarter ended June 30,
1997, compared to $51.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. On a
comparable basis, excluding revenue from Foresight Software, which was divested
effective June 30, 1996, revenue for the quarter ending June 30, 1996, was $48.0
million.

     The company recorded a net loss for the quarter of $27.0 million, or $2.35
per share, compared with a net loss of $10.6 million, or $0.93 per share, in the
quarter ended June 30, 1996. This loss includes restructuring and other special
charges of $18.5 million, which was less than the previously announced $22.0
million principally because of the cost of restructuring operations is expected
to be less than anticipated. Of the $18.5 million charge, $4.2 million related
principally to reduction of headcount and related facility charges, $11.1
million related to the write-off of previously capitalized software, and $3.2
million related to costs associated with the spin-off of Marcam Solutions, Inc.
The company ended the quarter with $9.8 million in cash and cash equivalents.

     For the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the MAPICS portion of the business had
revenues of $22.0 million, with pro-forma net income of $3.0 million. MAPICS
continued to show positive growth in the third quarter with an increase in
license revenue of 24% and an increase in total revenue of 21% compared to the
third quarter last year.

     For the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the PRISM, Protean and Avantis
portions of the business had revenue of $22.0 million with pro-forma net losses
of $31.7 million (including the restructuring and other charges). "This past
quarter has been challenging due to the restructuring of our company and
streamlining the operations of the portion of the company's business relating to
the PRISM, Protean and Avantis product lines, which will be conducted by Marcam
Solutions, Inc. after the spin-off. There were encouraging signs, however," said
President and CEO Michael Quinlan. "The growing interest in Protean is
reassuring. In the last quarter we closed eight new Protean ERP accounts. We
continue to believe that increased revenues from the PRISM, Protean and Avantis
product lines, together with the cost reduction expected to result from the
recent restructuring, are necessary for Marcam Solutions to achieve
profitability and positive cash flow. We believe the increased level of activity
provides the company with opportunities to achieve increased revenue."

     As previously announced, the stockholders approved the spin-off to the
company's stockholders in a tax-free distribution of all of the outstanding
shares of common stock of Marcam Solutions, Inc. In connection with the
spin-off, the Company will transfer to Marcam Solutions, the business, assets
and liabilities relating to the Company's PRISM, Protean and Avantis product
lines and will contribute to Marcam Solutions an aggregate of $39 million in
cash. The Company (which will be renamed "MAPICS, Inc." in connection with the
spin-off) currently expects to finance the cash contribution with a portion the
net proceeds from a public offering of 6,000,000 shares of common stock, which
is currently expected to occur by the end of July, 1997.

     The foregoing statements that are not historical facts may be
forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this release are
made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the 



<PAGE>

Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking
statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties including, but not
limited to, fluctuations in quarterly results, particularly resulting from
lengthy sales cycles, the variable size of the Company's transactions with
customers and relatively fixed expenses in the short term; successful
development and enhancement of the Company's products; market acceptance of the
Company's products; availability of funds for the continued financing of the
Company's operations and development activities; and the highly competitive
nature of the Company's markets. Further information on potential factors that
could affect the Company's business, prospects, financial condition and results
of operations are included in filings made by the Company from time to time with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996 and the Company's Proxy
Statement/Prospectus dated June 16, 1997. Any forward-looking statements should
be considered in light of these factors. Actual results may vary materially.
