Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial 
         Condition and Results of Operation

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements 
that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause 
actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by 
such statements.  These statements use words such as 
"anticipate," "estimate," or "future," or may be identified as 
"the Company expects" or "the Company believes" or otherwise 
stated as the Company's predictions for the future.  These 
statements, as with any predictions of the future, involve 
certain risk factors beyond the Company's control.  The 
Company's actual results may differ materially from the results 
discussed in the forward-looking statements, and any such 
differences could have a material negative impact on the 
Company's share price.  Factors that might cause such a 
difference include, but are not limited to, a decrease in demand 
for the Company's products, delays in the timely availability of 
new features and releases of the Company's products, a too rapid 
increase in the Company's level of spending, actions taken by 
competitors, technological changes, those herein identified, 
those discussed in the Company's Registration Statement on Form 
SB-2 filed with the SEC, and other factors identified from time 
to time as risks in the Company's reports filed with the SEC.

Total Revenues

The Company's revenues are derived from software license fees, 
services and post-contract customer support ("PCS"), and 
hardware sales and other.  Total revenues for the first quarter 
of 1999 were $10.7 million, which represented an increase of 
43.7% over first quarter 1998 total revenues of $7.5 million.  
The increase in total revenues for the three month period is due 


<PAGE> 13

primarily to an increase in the number of projects sold and a 
greater base of installed customers who provided PCS revenues.

International revenues were $2.5 million in the first quarter of 
1999, compared to international revenues of $832,000 in the 
first quarter of 1998.  International revenues represented 23.4% 
of total revenues for the first quarter of 1999 compared to 
11.1% in the same period of 1998.  The increase in international 
revenues was due to increased sales and services in the 
international market.  

The Company has been focusing on creating a global network of 
Value Added Resellers (VARs) who would market, sell, implement, 
and support the Company's products in their respective 
countries.  This strategy reduces cost and risk substantially, 
while offering an opportunity to expand sales in those markets.  
The Company now has such VAR relationships either in place or in 
progress in Europe, the Middle East, South America, and Asia, 
and has plans for further expansion elsewhere.

Software License Fees

Software license fee revenues consist of revenues from software 
license agreements for the Company's products, related add-on 
products, and third party software.  The first quarter of 1999 
software license fee revenues of $2.9 million represented an 
increase of 35.8% over first quarter of 1998 software license 
fee revenues of $2.1 million.  This increase is attributable 
to increased sales and installation activity compared to the 
first quarter of 1998.

The Company follows the software revenue recognition practices 
set forth in Statement of Position 97-2, "Software Revenue 
Recognition," issued by the American Institute of Certified 
Public Accountants.  For projects requiring "significant" 
modifications (modifications costing more than 5% of the
software license fees) to the software, the Company uses contract 
accounting procedures based upon percentage of completion to 
recognize revenue, provided that such amounts are reasonably 
collectable.  Revenue for projects with no modifications or 
modifications costing less than 5% of the software license fees 
are recognized upon delivery of the software, to the extent that 
payment is fixed and determinable and payment is likely within 
120 days.  The Company believes that license fee revenues should 


<PAGE> 14

increase in the future due to increased worldwide sales and 
marketing efforts, the introduction of new products, and efforts
to deliver standard packaged solutions that meet the requirements
of its five vertical markets.

Services and PCS

Services and PCS revenues are derived from software 
modifications, professional services, and PCS agreements.  
Services and PCS revenues increased 28.5% to $6.6 million in the 
first quarter of 1999, up from $5.1 million in the first quarter 
of 1998.  The components of services and PCS revenues as a 
percentage of total revenues in the first quarter of 1999 were 
18.1% for software modifications, 28.1% for professional 
services, and 15.2% for PCS agreements compared with 18.3%, 
32.0%, and 18.3%, respectively in the first quarter of 1998.  
Services and PCS revenues increased in the first quarter of 1999 
due to the combined effect of an increased number of the 
Company's product implementations, rollouts of additional sites, 
upgrades to new releases of the Company's products, and renewals 
of PCS agreements.

Software modifications are determined during the customer's 
Conference Room Pilot (CRP) and consist of changes to the 
software to facilitate specific functionality desired by a 
customer.  The Company believes that while a certain amount of 
software modifications will continue, future modifications 
revenues as a percentage of total revenues will decrease due to 
the increased functionality of newer releases of the Company's 
products.  As is indicated by recent trends, the Company 
believes that the percentage which software modifications 
represent of total revenues will continue to decrease in the 
future.

Professional services revenues are derived from training, 
technical services, performance of the CRP, on-site support, 
project management, and implementation services.  While the 
Company continues to improve its Catalyst Implementation 
Methodology and Plan (CIMPL), the Company expects that 
professional services revenues will continue to increase due to 
expected implementations of new customer sites and multi-site 
roll-outs for existing customers.  The increase in professional 
services revenue was due to increased sales of the Company's 


<PAGE> 15

products and an effort on the part of the Company to sell 
upgrades, training, and other services to existing customers.  
Revenue for professional services is recognized based on the 
number of days of work actually performed.

Customers typically enter into a one-year agreement for PCS at 
the time they first license the products and, once installed, 
pay for the first year of PCS fees in advance.  The increase in 
PCS revenues was due primarily to growth in the installed 
customer base for the Company's products and current customers 
renewing their PCS agreements.  Revenue on PCS is recognized 
ratably over the term of the PCS agreement.  The Company 
believes that PCS revenues will increase in the future as more 
of the Company's products are implemented, resulting in the 
execution of corresponding PCS agreements and renewal of 
existing PCS agreements.

Hardware and Other

Hardware and other revenues consist of products that the Company 
sold to its customers on behalf of other manufacturers.  
Hardware and other revenues consist of computer hardware, radio 
frequency equipment, and printers.  Hardware and other revenues 
increased to $1.3 million in the first quarter of 1999 from 
$235,000 during the same period of 1998.  The increase in 
hardware and other revenue is due to an increase in the resale 
of hardware to meet a desire by certain customers for a turnkey 
solution.

Cost of Software License Fees

Cost of software license fees consists of the cost of third-
party software products sold by the Company.  In the first 
quarter of 1999, cost of software license fees increased to 
$147,000 from $32,000 in the same period of 1998 due to an 
increase in revenues from the sale of third party software.

The Company expects to continue to expense the cost of 
developing new releases of its primary product offering, the 
Catalyst UNIX WMS, and therefore anticipates that the cost of 
software license fees for that product and related third party 
software will remain approximately the same in the future as a 
percentage of total software license fee revenues.  To comply 
with recent trends in the treatment of accounting for 


<PAGE> 16

acquisitions, the Company capitalized the appraised value of the 
NT-based product it acquired with its 1998 purchase of Kearney 
Systems, Inc.  The cost of further development of this product 
was also capitalized, and the total will be amortized over a 
period of seven years, commencing with the general release of 
the product.

Cost of Services and PCS

Cost of services and PCS consists primarily of personnel costs 
for the performance of software modifications, professional 
services, and PCS. 

The cost of services and PCS increased 4.0% to $3.9 million in 
the first quarter of 1999 from $3.7 million for the first 
quarter of 1998.  The cost of services and PCS increased due to 
the growth in revenues from these services.  As a percentage of 
services and PCS revenues, the cost of services and PCS 
decreased from 72.7% of related revenues for the first quarter 
of 1998 to 58.8% of services and PCS revenues for the current 
quarter, reflecting improvement and efficiencies in the delivery 
of these services.

Cost of Hardware and Other

Cost of hardware and other consists primarily of the cost of 
products sold by the Company on behalf of other manufacturers.  
The Company does not inventory, service, or discount hardware 
items, but makes them available to customers who desire a 
turnkey solution.  Sales of third party hardware in the first 
quarter of 1999 had a cost of $1.2 million compared to $208,000 
for the first quarter of 1998.  The increase in cost is 
attributable to the increase in sales of third party hardware 
and other.

Product Development

Product development costs include expenses associated with 
research and development, including costs of engineering 
personnel and related development expenses such as development 
software tools, training, and documentation.  Product 
development expenses as a percentage of total revenues for the 


<PAGE> 17

first quarter of 1999 increased to 14.8% from 9.4% in the first 
quarter of 1998.  Actual product development expenses were $1.6 
million in the first quarter of 1999, compared to $698,000 in 
the first quarter of 1998.  The increase in product development 
costs was primarily due to the Company's current efforts to 
enhance its product offerings as well as develop new features 
and functions in its key verticals.  The Company continues to 
expense all software development costs on its Unix product as 
incurred.  On its NT-based product, the Company capitalized 
$193,000 in additional development costs for the first quarter 
of 1999, and also expects there may be additional capitalization 
before the product is available for general release.  The 
Company believes that product development costs should decrease 
slightly as a percentage of total revenues in the future.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and 
commissions, marketing and promotional tools and expenses, and 
travel expenses.  Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage 
of total revenues for the first quarter of 1999 decreased to 
14.6% from 19.1% in the first quarter of 1998.  Actual sales and 
marketing expenses increased to $1.6 million in the first 
quarter of 1999 from $1.4 million in the first quarter of 1998.  
The decrease in sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of 
total revenues in the first quarter of 1999 is due to the large 
increase in revenues over the comparable quarter.  The increase 
in actual sales and marketing expense was primarily due to 
increased marketing activities.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of the 
salaries of administrative, executive, finance, and quality 
assurance personnel.  General and administrative expenses as a 
percentage of total revenues for the first quarter of 1999 
decreased to 9.4% from 15.0% in the first quarter of 1998.  
Actual general and administrative expenses decreased to $1.0 
million in the first quarter of 1999 from $1.1 million in the 
first quarter of 1998.  The decrease in general and 
administrative expenses in the current quarter was partially the 
result of the capitalization of NT-related development costs, a 


<PAGE> 18

portion of which was overhead expenses.  Expenses for the first 
quarter of 1998 included a $150,000 reserve for the 
restructuring of the Company's international offices, which was 
completed in 1998.  The Company expects that general and 
administrative expenses may increase in the future, but should 
continue to decrease as a percentage of total revenues.

Other Income and Expense

Other income and expense consists primarily of interest income 
and interest expense and does not have a material impact on 
operating results.  Interest income for the first quarter of 
1999 was $109,000, offset by $28,000 of interest on equipment 
leases and other expenses compared to $35,000 of interest income 
offset by $4,000 of interest and other expense in the first 
quarter of 1998.  The increase in interest income was due to 
higher cash levels in the first quarter of 1999.  Interest 
expense in the first quarter of 1999 has increased compared to 
the first quarter of 1998 due to additional computer equipment 
leases entered into in the second half of 1998 and the first 
quarter of 1999.  The Company expects other income and expense 
to remain relatively constant in the future since invested cash 
balances are increasing but interest rates earned have been 
decreasing.

Income Tax Expense

No federal and state tax expense was recorded for the quarters 
ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 due to the Company's federal and 
state net operating loss position.  No deferred tax expense was 
recorded in the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 as the 
Company continues to have a substantial net operating loss 
carryforward.  The Company recorded a valuation allowance to 
reserve for the net deferred tax assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.0 million for 
the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to $565,000 
during the three months ended March 31, 1998.  The increase 
during this period is due primarily to the increase in net 
income at March 31, 1999 and the decrease in days sales 
outstanding in accounts receivable from 95 days at March 31, 
1998 to 73 days at March 31, 1999.


<PAGE> 19

Cash used for investing activities increased to $500,000 during 
the three months ended March 31, 1999 from $148,000 during the 
three months ended March 31, 1998 due to increased equipment and 
leasehold improvement purchases and capitalized software costs.

Financing activities generated no cash in the first three months 
of 1999 compared to $9,000 used in the first three months of 
1998.  Payments on long term debt were offset by proceeds from 
the exercise of stock options.

As of March 31, 1999, the Company had $11.0 million in cash and 
cash equivalents, which consisted primarily of money market 
funds and commercial paper.  In addition, the Company has a $1.0 
million line of credit (the "Revolving Credit Facility") with 
Bank One, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  As of March 31, 1999, there 
were no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Longer term cash requirements, other than normal operating 
expenses, are anticipated for the development of new software 
products and enhancement of existing products, the financing of 
anticipated growth, and possible acquisition of software 
products or technologies complementary to the Company's 
business.  The Company believes that its existing cash, cash 
equivalents, and available line of credit, along with 
anticipated cash generated from operations, will be sufficient 
to satisfy its cash requirements for at least the next 12 
months.  The Company has never paid cash dividends on its common 
stock.  The Company's policy has been to retain cash from 
operations to provide funds for the operation and expansion of 
its business.  Accordingly, the Company does not anticipate 
paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Impact of Year 2000 

The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs using two 
digits rather than four to define the applicable year.  Any of 
the Company's computer programs, either internal or sold to 
customers, that have time-sensitive software may recognize a 
date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000.  
This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing 
disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a 
temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or 
engage in normal business activities.


<PAGE> 20

The Company's primary software offering, the Catalyst WMS, is 
written to store the year in the database using four digits to 
allow data entry in an unambiguous manner and to process program 
functions in four digits.  The Company has certified that its 
most recent product offerings are capable of processing date-
related data in four digits.  The Company has extensively tested 
these products and has not to date found any material errors 
which could affect Year 2000 processing.  However, due to the 
fact that the Company's products are integrated with different 
combinations of third party software and hardware products, any 
Year 2000 problem occurring within these third party software 
and hardware products may impact the operation of the Company's 
products which, in turn, may lead to claims against the Company.  
The potential for and outcome of such claims and impact on the 
Company cannot be estimated at this time.

In mid-1997, the Company began a proactive program of offering 
to its existing customers assistance in assessing whether the 
customer's fully integrated system is Year 2000 compliant and 
coordinating the remediation of non-compliant systems.  The 
Company has contacted all customers with pre-release 7.0 of the 
Catalyst WMS and notified them that, because their systems 
interface with third party software and hardware products, their 
entire system should be reviewed for compliance.  This effort is 
ongoing and certain customers have retained the Company to 
perform an assessment of and/or a coordination of the 
remediation work for their entire system.

With respect to the Company's internal computer systems and 
equipment, the Company continues to conduct a comprehensive 
review to ensure that all such systems are, or prior to the end 
of 1999 will be, Year 2000 compliant.  The Company's Year 2000 
readiness plan includes the following phases: (i) conducting an 
inventory of the Company's internal systems, including 
information technology systems and non-information technology 
systems (which include office and facilities' environment-
related systems) and the systems acquired or to be acquired by 
the Company from third parties; (ii) assessing and prioritizing 
any required remediation; (iii) remediating any problems by 
repairing or, if appropriate, replacing the non-compliant 
systems; (iv) testing of all remediated systems; and (v) 
developing a contingency plan.  The Company has completed its 
inventory and assessment phases of this plan and is actively 


<PAGE> 21

engaged in completing the remaining phases.  The Company expects 
to complete all phases of its readiness plan before the end of 
1999.

In addition to assessing its internal systems, the Company has 
initiated communications with its material service providers, 
suppliers, and critical business partners to assess their Year 
2000 readiness.  The Company plans to continue assessing its 
service providers, suppliers, and business partners to ensure 
Year 2000 readiness.  Despite the Company's diligence, there can 
be no guarantee that the non-compliant systems of other entities 
which the Company relies upon in its day to day operations will 
not have a material adverse impact on the Company.  The actual 
impact on the Company resulting therefrom cannot be determined 
at this time.

During the first quarter of 1999, the Company retained an 
external auditor to review the procedures used by the Company in 
assessing its Year 2000 readiness.  Upon completion of this 
review, the Company intends to address any potential exposures 
identified and commence developing its Year 2000 contingency 
plan.  The Company believes that this is an appropriate time 
frame for developing the contingency plan and that efforts prior 
to that time should be focused on the remediation and testing 
phases of the Company's Year 2000 readiness plan. 

To date, the Company has expended approximately $250,000 in 
conjunction with its Year 2000 readiness plan.  The Company 
expects that the cost of completing this Year 2000 readiness 
plan, including replacement of all necessary computer systems, 
will not exceed an additional $100,000.

The Company has limited the scope of its risk assessment to 
those factors upon which it can reasonably be expected to have 
an influence.  The Company has made the assumption that 
government agencies, utility companies, and national 
telecommunication providers will continue to operate.  The lack 
of such services could have a material impact on the Company's 
ability to operate; however, the Company has little, if any, 
ability to influence such an outcome, or to make alternative 
arrangements in advance for such services if they are 
unavailable.  Additionally, the Company believes that 
disruptions in the economy generally resulting from Year 2000 


<PAGE> 22

issues could have a material adverse impact on the Company.  The 
amount of potential liability or loss of revenue to the Company 
cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. 

The information contained herein, as well as all information 
previously filed by the Company regarding its Year 2000 
readiness, are designated as Year 2000 readiness disclosures as 
defined by the Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure 
Act.

Economic and Monetary Union in Europe (EMU)

EMU refers to the movement toward economic and monetary union in 
Europe with the ultimate goal of introducing a single currency 
called the euro. While the European monetary union will have 
profound financial and political implications, the Company 
believes that the formation of EMU will not impact the Company's 
earnings in any material way. 


Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market 
         Risk

The Company does not believe it has material exposure to market 
risk with respect to any of its investments as the Company does 
not use market rate sensitive instruments for trading or other 
purposes.  For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash 
Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with 
a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash 
equivalents.  Cash equivalents consist principally of 
investments in corporate debt securities and repurchase 
agreements.  The cost of these securities, which are considered 
as "available for sale" for financial reporting purposes, 
approximates fair value at both March 31, 1999 and 1998.  There 
were no realized gains or losses in the periods ended March 31, 
1999 or 1998.
