                             MARCAM SOLUTIONS, INC.

                        1997 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

Article 1 - Purpose.

         This 1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan") is intended as an
incentive to, and to encourage stock ownership by, all eligible employees of
Marcam Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and its
participating subsidiaries (as defined in Article 17) so that they may share in
the growth of the Company by acquiring or increasing their proprietary interest
in the Company. The Plan is designed to encourage eligible employees to remain
in the employ of the Company. It is intended that options issued pursuant to
this Plan will constitute options issued pursuant to an "employee stock purchase
plan" within the meaning of Section 423(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986
(the "Code").

Article 2 - Administration of the Plan.

         The Plan may be administered by a committee appointed by the Board of
Directors of the Company (the "Committee"). The Committee shall consist of not
less than two members of the Company's Board of Directors. The Board of
Directors may from time to time remove members from, or add members to, the
Committee. Vacancies on the Committee, howsoever caused, shall be filled by the
Board of Directors. The Committee may select one of its members as Chairman, and
shall hold meetings at such times and places as it may determine. Acts by a
majority of the Committee, or acts reduced to or approved in writing by a
majority of the members of the Committee, shall be the valid acts of the
Committee.

         The interpretation and construction by the Committee of any provisions
of the Plan or of any option granted under it shall be final, unless otherwise
determined by the Board of Directors. The Committee may from time to time adopt
such rules and regulations for carrying out the Plan as it may deem best,
provided that any such rules and regulations shall be applied on a uniform basis
to all employees under the Plan. No member of the Board of Directors or the
Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith
with respect to the Plan or any option granted under it.

         In the event the Board of Directors fails to appoint or refrains from
appointing a Committee, the Board of Directors shall have all power and
authority to administer the Plan. In such event, the word "Committee" wherever
used herein shall be deemed to mean the Board of Directors.

Article 3 - Eligible Employees.

         All employees of the Company or any of its participating subsidiaries
shall be eligible to receive options under this Plan to purchase the Common
Stock, and all eligible employees shall have the same rights and privileges
hereunder. Persons who are employed on the first day of any Payment Period (as
defined in Article 5) shall receive their options as of such day. Persons who
are employed after any date on which options are granted under this Plan shall
be granted options on the first date of the next succeeding Payment Period on
which options are granted to all eligible employees. Directors who are not
employees of the Company shall not be eligible to receive options under this
Plan. In no event may an employee be granted an option if such employee,
immediately after the option is granted, owns stock possessing five percent (5%)
or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of
the Company or of any parent corporation or subsidiary corporations, as the
terms "parent corporation" and "subsidiary corporation" are defined in Section
424(e) and (f) of the Code. For purposes of determining stock ownership under
this paragraph, the rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall apply, and stock
which the employee may purchase under outstanding options shall be treated as
stock owned by the employee.

         For purposes of this Article 3, the term "employee" shall not include
an employee whose customary employment is twenty (20) hours or less per week or
whose customary employment is for not more than five (5) months in any calendar
year.

Article 4 - Stock Subject to the Plan.

         The stock subject to the options under the Plan shall be shares of the
Company's authorized but unissued Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the
"Common Stock"), or shares of such Common Stock reacquired by the Company,
including shares purchased in the open market. The aggregate number of shares
which may be issued pursuant to the Plan is 300,000, subject to adjustment as
provided in Article 12. In the event any option granted under the Plan shall
expire or terminate for any reason without having been exercised in full or
shall cease for any reason to be exercisable in whole or in part, the
unpurchased shares subject thereto shall again be available under the Plan.

Article 5 - Payment Periods and Stock Options.

         The six-month periods, commencing and ending on or about February 1 to
July 31 and August 1 to January 31, respectively, are Payment Periods during
which payroll deductions will be accumulated under the Plan. Payroll deductions
made from bonus and commission payments will be deemed accumulated under the
Plan during the Payment Period during which such payments are made. All other
payroll deductions will be deemed accumulated under the Plan during the Payment
Period during which the regular payroll 

<PAGE>

period to which it relates ends. The first Payment Period under the Plan will
commence on August 25, 1997 and expire on January 31, 1998. For subsequent
Payment Periods, the Committee shall fix the commencement and termination dates
of each Payment Period at least fifteen (15) days prior to the commencement of
such Payment Period.

         Twice each year, on the first business day of each Payment Period, the
Company will grant to each eligible employee who is then a participant in the
Plan an option to purchase on the last day of such Payment Period, at the Option
Price hereinafter provided for, a maximum of Five Hundred (500) shares, on
condition that such employee remains eligible to participate in the Plan
throughout such Payment Period. The participant shall be entitled to exercise
such option so granted only to the extent of the participant's accumulated
payroll deductions on the last day of such Payment Period. If the participant's
accumulated payroll deductions on the last day of the Payment Period would
enable the participant to purchase more than 500 shares except for the 500-share
limitation, the excess of the amount of the accumulated payroll deductions over
the aggregate purchase price of the 500 shares shall be promptly refunded to the
participant by the Company, without interest. The Option Price for each Payment
Period shall be the lesser of (i) 85% of the average market price of the Common
Stock on the first business day of the Payment Period, or (ii) 85% of the
average market price of the Common Stock on the last business day of the Payment
Period, in either event rounded up to avoid fractions of a dollar other than
1/4, 1/2 and 3/4. The foregoing limitation on the number of shares which may be
granted in any Payment Period and the Option Price per share shall be subject to
adjustment as provided in Article 12.

         For purposes of this Plan, the term "average market price" on any date
means (i) the average (on that date) of the high and low prices of the Common
Stock on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is
traded, if the Common Stock is then traded on a national securities exchange; or
(ii) the last reported sale price (on that date) of the Common Stock on the
Nasdaq National Market List, if the Common Stock is not then traded on a
national securities exchange; or (iii) the average of the closing bid and asked
prices last quoted (on that date) by an established quotation service for
over-the-counter securities, if the Common Stock is not reported on the Nasdaq
National Market List. If the Common Stock is not publicly traded at the time an
option is granted under this Plan, "average market price" shall mean the fair
market value of the Common Stock as determined by the Committee after taking
into consideration all factors which it deems appropriate, including, without
limitation, recent sale and offer prices of the Common Stock in private
transactions negotiated at arm's length.

         For purposes of this Plan, the term "business day" means a day on which
there is trading on the Nasdaq National Market or on the aforementioned national
securities exchange, whichever is applicable pursuant to the preceding paragraph
and if neither is applicable, a day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal
holiday in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

         No employee shall be granted an option which permits the employee's
right to 

<PAGE>

purchase Common Stock under this Plan, and under all other Section 423(b)
employee stock purchase plans of the Company or any parent or subsidiary
corporations, to accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 of fair market value of
such stock (determined at the time such option is granted) for each calendar
year in which such option is outstanding at any time. The purpose of the
limitation in the preceding sentence is to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the
Code. If the participant's accumulated payroll deductions on the last day of the
Payment Period would otherwise enable the participant to purchase Common Stock
in excess of the Section 423(b)(8) limitation described in this paragraph, the
excess of the amount of the accumulated payroll deductions over the aggregate
purchase price of the shares actually purchased shall be promptly refunded to
the participant by the Company, without interest.

Article 6 - Exercise of Option.

         Each eligible employee who continues to be a participant in the Plan on
the last business day of a Payment Period shall be deemed to have exercised
his/her option on such date and shall be deemed to have purchased from the
Company such number of full shares of Common Stock reserved for the purpose of
the Plan as his/her accumulated payroll deductions on such date will pay for at
the Option Price, subject to the 500-share limit of the option and the Section
423(b)(8) limitation described in Article 5. If a participant is not an employee
on the last business day of a Payment Period, he/she shall not be entitled to
exercise his/her option. Only full shares of Common Stock may be purchased under
the Plan. Unused payroll deductions remaining in a participant's account at the
end of a Payment Period by reason of the inability to purchase a fractional
share will be carried forward to the succeeding Payment Period.

Article 7 - Authorization for Entering the Plan.

         An employee may elect to enter the Plan by filling out, signing and
delivering to the Company an authorization:

                  A. Stating the percentage to be deducted regularly from the
employee's pay;

                  B. Authorizing the purchase of stock for the employee in each
Payment Period in accordance with the terms of the Plan; and

                  C. Specifying the exact name or names in which stock purchased
for the employee is to be issued as provided under Article 11 hereof.

         Such authorization must be received by the Company at least ten (10)
days before the beginning date of the next succeeding Payment Period and shall
take effect only if the employee is an eligible employee on the beginning date
of such Payment Period.

<PAGE>

         Unless an employee files a new authorization or withdraws from the
Plan, the deductions and purchases under the authorization the employee has on
file under the Plan will continue from one Payment Period to succeeding Payment
Periods as long as the Plan remains in effect.

         The Company will accumulate and hold for the employee's account the
amounts deducted from his/her pay. No interest will be paid on these amounts.

Article 8 - Maximum Amount of Payroll Deductions.

         An employee may authorize payroll deductions in an amount (expressed as
a whole percentage) not less than one percent (1%) but not more than ten percent
(10%) of the employee's total compensation, including base pay or salary and any
overtime, bonuses or commissions.

Article 9 - Change in Payroll Deductions.

         Deductions may not be increased or decreased during a Payment Period.
However, an employee may withdraw in full from the Plan.

Article 10 - Withdrawal from the Plan.

         An employee may withdraw from the Plan in whole but not in part, at any
time prior to the last business day of each Payment Period by delivering a
withdrawal notice to the Company, in which event the Company will promptly
refund the entire balance of the employee's deductions not previously used to
purchase stock under the Plan.

         To re-enter the Plan, an employee who has previously withdrawn must
file a new authorization at least ten (10) days before the beginning date of the
next Payment Period in which he/she wishes to participate. The employee's
re-entry into the Plan cannot, however, become effective before the beginning of
the Payment Period following his/her withdrawal.

Article 11 - Issuance of Stock.

         Certificates for stock issued to participants will be delivered as soon
as practicable after each Payment Period by the Company's transfer agent.

         Stock purchased under the Plan will be issued only in the name of the
employee, or if his/her authorization so specifies, in the name of the employee
and another person of 

<PAGE>


legal age as joint tenants with rights of survivorship.

Article 12--Adjustments.

         Upon the happening of any of the following described events, an
optionee's rights under options granted under the Plan shall be adjusted as
hereinafter provided:

                  A. In the event shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or
combined into a greater or smaller number of shares or if, upon a
reorganization, split-up, liquidation, recapitalization or the like of the
Company, the shares of Common Stock shall be exchanged for other securities of
the Company, each participant shall be entitled, subject to the conditions
herein stated, to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock or amount of
other securities of the Company as were exchangeable for the number of shares of
Common Stock which such participant would have been entitled to purchase except
for such action, and appropriate adjustments shall be made in the purchase price
per share to reflect such subdivision, combination or exchange; and

                  B. In the event the Company shall issue any of its shares as a
stock dividend upon or with respect to the shares of stock of the class which
shall at the time be subject to option hereunder, each participant upon
exercising such an option shall be entitled to receive (for the purchase price
paid upon such exercise) the shares as to which he/she is exercising his/her
option and, in addition thereto (at no additional cost), such number of shares
of the class or classes in which such stock dividend or dividends were declared
or paid, and such amount of cash in lieu of fractional shares, as is equal to
the number of shares thereof and the amount of cash in lieu of fractional
shares, respectively, which he/she would have received if he/she had been the
holder of the shares as to which he/she is exercising his/her option at all
times between the date of the granting of such option and the date of its
exercise.

         Upon the happening of any of the foregoing events, the class and
aggregate number of shares set forth in Article 4 hereof which are subject to
options which have been or may be granted under the Plan and the limitations set
forth in the second paragraph of Article 5 shall also be appropriately adjusted
to reflect the events specified in paragraphs A and B above. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any adjustments made pursuant to paragraphs A or B shall be made only
after the Committee, based on advice of counsel for the Company, determines
whether such adjustments would constitute a "modification" (as that term is
defined in Section 424 of the Code). If the Committee determines that such
adjustments would constitute a modification, it may refrain from making such
adjustments.

         If the Company is to be consolidated with or acquired by another entity
in a merger, a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or
otherwise (an "Acquisition"), the Committee or the board of directors of any
entity assuming the obligations of the Company hereunder (the "Successor Board")
shall, with respect to 

<PAGE>

options then outstanding under this Plan, either (i) make appropriate provision
for the continuation of such options by arranging for the substitution on an
equitable basis for the shares then subject to such options either (a) the
consideration payable with respect to the outstanding shares of the Common Stock
in connection with the Acquisition, (b) shares of stock of the successor
corporation, or a parent or subsidiary of such corporation, or (c) such other
securities as the Successor Board deems appropriate, the fair market value of
which shall not materially exceed the fair market value of the shares of Common
Stock subject to such options immediately preceding the Acquisition; or (ii)
terminate each participant's options in exchange for a cash payment equal to the
excess of (a) the fair market value on the date of the Acquisition, of the
number of shares of Common Stock that the participant's accumulated payroll
deductions as of the date of the Acquisition could purchase, at an option price
determined with reference only to the first business day of the applicable
Payment Period and subject to the 500-share, Code Section 423(b)(8) and
fractional share limitations on the amount of stock a participant would be
entitled to purchase, over (b) the result of multiplying such number of shares
by such option price.

         The Committee or Successor Board shall determine the adjustments to be
made under this Article 12, and its determination shall be conclusive.

Article 13 - No Transfer or Assignment of Employee's Rights.

         An employee's rights under the Plan are the employee's alone and may
not be transferred or assigned to, or availed of by, any other person other than
by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any option granted under the
Plan to an employee may be exercised, during the employee's lifetime, only by
the employee.

Article 14 - Termination of Employee's Rights.

         Whenever a participant ceases to be an eligible employee because of
retirement, voluntary or involuntary termination, resignation, lay-off,
discharge, death or for any other reason, his or her rights under the Plan shall
immediately terminate, and the Company shall promptly refund, without interest,
the entire balance of his or her payroll deduction account under the Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, eligible employment shall be treated as
continuing intact while a participant is on military leave, sick leave or other
bona fide leave of absence, for up to 90 days, or for so long as the
participant's right to re-employment is guaranteed either by statute or by
contract, if longer than 90 days.

         If an employee's payroll deductions are interrupted by any legal
process, a withdrawal notice will be considered as having been received from the
employee on the day the interruption occurs.

Article 15 - Termination and Amendments to Plan.

         Unless terminated sooner as provided below, the Plan shall terminate on
June 12, 

<PAGE>

2007. The Plan may be terminated at any time by the Company's Board of Directors
but such termination shall not affect options then outstanding under the Plan.
The Plan will terminate in any case when all or substantially all of the
unissued shares of stock reserved for the purposes of the Plan have been
purchased. If at any time shares of stock reserved for the purpose of the Plan
remain available for purchase but not in sufficient number to satisfy all then
unfilled purchase requirements, the available shares shall be apportioned among
participants in proportion to the amount of payroll deductions accumulated on
behalf of each participant that would otherwise be used to purchase stock, and
the Plan shall terminate. Upon such termination or any other termination of the
Plan, all payroll deductions not used to purchase stock will be refunded,
without interest.

         The Committee or the Board of Directors may from time to time adopt
amendments to the Plan provided that, without the approval of the stockholders
of the Company, no amendment may (i) increase the number of shares that may be
issued under the Plan; (ii) change the class of employees eligible to receive
options under the Plan, if such action would be treated as the adoption of a new
plan for purposes of Section 423(b) of the Code; or (iii) cause Rule 16b-3 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to become inapplicable to the Plan.

Article 16 - Limits on Sale of Stock Purchased Under the Plan.

         The Plan is intended to provide shares of Common Stock for investment
and not for resale. The Company does not, however, intend to restrict or
influence any employee in the conduct of his/her own affairs. An employee may,
therefore, sell stock purchased under the Plan at any time the employee chooses,
subject to compliance with any applicable federal or state securities laws and
subject to any restrictions imposed under Article 21 to ensure that tax
withholding obligations are satisfied. THE EMPLOYEE ASSUMES THE RISK OF ANY
MARKET FLUCTUATIONS IN THE PRICE OF THE STOCK.

Article 17 - Participating Subsidiaries.

         The term "participating subsidiary" shall mean any present or future
subsidiary of the Company, as that term is defined in Section 424(f) of the
Code, which is designated from time to time by the Board of Directors to
participate in the Plan. The Board of Directors shall have the power to make
such designation before or after the Plan is approved by the stockholders.

Article 18 - Optionees Not Stockholders.

         Neither the granting of an option to an employee nor the deductions
from his/her pay shall constitute such employee a stockholder of the shares
covered by an option until 

<PAGE>

such shares have been actually purchased by the employee.

Article 19 - Application of Funds.

         The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Common Stock
pursuant to options granted under the Plan will be used for general corporate
purposes.

Article 20 - Notice to Company of Disqualifying Disposition.

         By electing to participate in the Plan, each participant agrees to
notify the Company in writing immediately after the participant transfers Common
Stock acquired under the Plan, if such transfer occurs within two years after
the first business day of the Payment Period in which such Common Stock was
acquired. Each participant further agrees to provide any information about such
a transfer as may be requested by the Company or any subsidiary corporation in
order to assist it in complying with the tax laws. Such dispositions generally
are treated as "disqualifying dispositions" under Sections 421 and 424 of the
Code, which have certain tax consequences to participants and to the Company and
its participating subsidiaries.

Article 21 - Withholding of Additional Income Taxes.

         By electing to participate in the Plan, each participant acknowledges
that the Company and its participating subsidiaries are required to withhold
taxes with respect to the amounts deducted from the participant's compensation
and accumulated for the benefit of the participant under the Plan, and each
participant agrees that the Company and its participating subsidiaries may
deduct additional amounts from the participant's compensation, when amounts are
added to the participant's account, used to purchase Common Stock or refunded,
in order to satisfy such withholding obligations. Each participant further
acknowledges that when Common Stock is purchased under the Plan the Company and
its participating subsidiaries may be required to withhold taxes with respect to
all or a portion of the difference between the fair market value of the Common
Stock purchased and its purchase price, and each participant agrees that such
taxes may be withheld from compensation otherwise payable to such participant.
It is intended that tax withholding will be accomplished in such a manner that
the full amount of payroll deductions elected by the participant under Article 8
will be used to purchase Common Stock. However, if amounts sufficient to satisfy
applicable tax withholding obligations have not been withheld from compensation
otherwise payable to any participant, then, notwithstanding any other provision
of the Plan, the Company may withhold such taxes from the participant's
accumulated payroll deductions and apply that net amount to the purchase of
Common Stock, unless the participant pays to the Company, prior to the exercise
date, an amount sufficient to satisfy such withholding obligations. Each
participant further acknowledges that the Company and its participating
subsidiaries may 

<PAGE>

be required to withhold taxes in connection with the disposition of stock
acquired under the Plan and agrees that the Company or any participating
subsidiary may take whatever action it considers appropriate to satisfy such
withholding requirements, including deducting from compensation otherwise
payable to such participant an amount sufficient to satisfy such withholding
requirements or conditioning any disposition of Common Stock by the participant
upon the payment to the Company or such subsidiary of an amount sufficient to
satisfy such withholding requirements.

Article 22 - Governmental Regulations.

         The Company's obligation to sell and deliver shares of the Common Stock
under this Plan is subject to the approval of any governmental authority
required in connection with the authorization, issuance or sale of such shares.
Government regulations may impose reporting or other obligations on the Company
with respect to the Plan. For example, the Company may be required to identify
shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan on its stock ownership records and
send tax information statements to employees and former employees who transfer
title to such shares.

Article 23 - Approval of Stockholders; Effectiveness.

         The Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on June 13, 1997 and 
was approved by the  stockholders  of the Company on July 17, 1997.

Article 24 - Governing Law.

         The validity and construction of this Plan shall be governed by the
laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of
conflicts of law thereof.
