AT SCO FORUM 92

               SCO Authorized Education Centers (AECs)
                    Receive Awards for Excellence

     AECs from around the globe received public recognition at SCO
FORUM92 for their standard of excellence in training SCO customers on
SCO UNIX and SCO Open Desktop from April 1991 to April 1992.

     AECs honored were Standard International Systems of Canada,
Dupaco of The Netherlands, The Computer Classroom of the United
States, Multitrade of Poland and Com Tech of Australia.  Presenting
the awards were Marsha Kabakov, SCO AEC Program Manager, and Graham
Brown, Director of Services, European office, Watford, England.

DIAMOND AWARD

     The Diamond Award for worldwide excellence as an Authorized
Education Center was presented to Standard International Systems (SIS)
of Canada, in recognition of training more students than any other AEC
in the world.

     Founded originally in Edmonton, Alberta in 1988, SIS has since
expanded to include Education Centers in Calgary, Alberta and
Vancouver, British Columbia.  In addition, SIS recently was awarded
the authorization to provide SCO training to the University of
Manitoba's Continuing Education Department in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

     Berry attributes the success of SIS not only to training a large
volume of current SCO product users, but also to promoting SCO UNIX
training as an evaluation tool for clients who are considering moving
to UNIX   Berry says this group is always pleasantly surprised about
the capabilities and ease of use of SCO UNIX.  According to Rob Day,
senior instructor for the SIS Education Center in Calgary, "About 20
percent of our clients are using our courses solely for evaluation,
and most of them end up purchasing the product because of their
satisfaction with the courses."  Ken Findlay, the branch manager for
the Vancouver Center adds, "In fact, we have trained a number of
students who work on a variety of UNIX platforms, [who came to us],
because of the reputation of the SCO courseware."  Also Berry praises
Sara Pearce, operations manager, who he says keeps the company focused
on the customer.

GOLD AWARD

     The Gold Award for excellence in Authorized Education in the
Domestic Market was presented to The Computer Classroom of the United
States, and to Dupaco of The Netherlands.

     The Computer Classroom is known for flexibility in dealing with
client's needs beyond the definition of what is expected from the
classroom, providing backup after the course has been completed in the
event students have questions.  The Computer Classroom has enjoyed
tremendous success with Fortune 1000 clients.

     Dupaco is one of the oldest SCO Authorized Education Centers in
Europe, consistently training a high volume of students.

SILVER AWARD

     The Silver Award for demonstrated excellence in the first year of
operation was presented to Com Tech Communications Pty. Ltd of Sydney,
Australia, and to Multitrade of Poland.

     Com Tech has been in the forefront in their territory for signing
SCO Resellers.  Com Tech also is a very successful site for
Authorizing SCO Advanced Certified Engineers (ACEs).

     Multitrade has set up an impressive education facility since
receiving SCO authorization in October 1991, and has trained a large
volume of SCO customers.
