SYMPAQ for DOS was launched in 1990, and Aldebaron continued to expand its cost accounting features throughout the 1990's. A growing customer base of government contractors was built on Aldebaron's straightforward promise: Service, Affordability, Flexibility, and Excellence.
SYMPAQ for DOS has been succeeded by SYMPAQ SQL, our unlimited, Windows-based system. To read more about SYMPAQ SQL, click our company name in the panel to the right.
In many ways, SYMPAQ for DOS has illuminated Aldebaron's core business philosophy:
- Build what you know: Aldebaron began as the IT division of a successful government contractor. SYMPAQ covers the broad range of cost accounting capabilities needed to win and execute federal contracts.
- Support your users: Over the years, our users have depended on our cost accounting experts for both onsite and phone support. We also provide fax updates, manuals, and seminars for users at every level.
- Stay compliant with changing demands: SYMPAQ for DOS is fully compliant with all of the cost accounting guidelines specified on Standard Form 1408 (Accounting System Evaluation Checklist).
- Constantly improve the product: Even as we were developing SYMPAQ SQL, we updated the DOS system's database from Btrieve® to the more advanced Pervasive SQL 2000®. It goes without saying that Aldebaron ensured SYMPAQ's Y2K compatibility well ahead of schedule.
Of course, we strive to integrate our DOS customers into the world of Windows. Our DOS-to-Windows conversion experts are backed up by complete documentation and testing procedures.
