Exhibit 10.1

                  Baan Business Partner Authorization Agreement
   ______________________________________________________________________

   Reseller Name
   This authorization is intended by the Reseller name above as an addition
   and amendment to any other terms and conditions of sales to which they may
   mutually agree with regard to Reseller purchase of products supplied by
   Baan.  If Baan approved Distributor's sale of these products to Reseller,
   Baan will be regarded as a third-party beneficiary of the agreements and
   commitments made herein.  Subject to such approval, and for good and
   valuable consideration, including Distributor's willingness to sell these
   products to Reseller, Reseller certifies and agrees as follows:

   A.   The following limitations will apply to approved Reseller sales
        activity:

        1.   Reseller will not advertise, promote Baan products outside any
             geographic or vertical area(s) recognized and agreed to in
             writing by Baan.
        2.   Reseller will sell Baan products only to end-user customers
             (other than Reseller's corporate parent, division, or any
             subsidiary of corporate parent) in North America for use in
             North America.
        3.   Target Market
        4.   Quota

   Relationships
   A.   Distributor and Reseller are independent contractors engaged in
        purchasing Baan products for resale to their respective customers. 
        Neither Distributor nor Reseller is an agent or legal representative
        of Baan for any purpose, and neither has any authority to act for,
        bind or commit Baan.

   B.   Neither Distributor nor Reseller has any authority to make any
        commitment on behalf of Baan with respect to quantities, deliveries,
        modifications, interfacing capability, suitability of software, or
        suitability in specific applications.  Reseller has no authority to
        modify the warranty offered with Baan products.  Reseller will
        indemnify Distributor and Baan from liability for any modified
        warranty or other commitment by Reseller.

   C.   Reseller will not represent itself in any way that implies Reseller
        is an agent or branch of Baan.  Reseller will immediately change or
        discontinue any representation or business practice found to be
        misleading or deceptive by Distributor or Baan.

   D.   For the term of this authorization, software only Resellers will only
        be authorized to purchase Baan products from Distributor.

   E.   If software only Reseller's relationship with Distributor is
        terminated during the term of this authorization, Reseller may only
        change its purchasing relationship to another Distributor once during
        the remaining term.

   F.   This authorization is effective upon notice of approval by Baan. 
        This authorization will expire automatically upon the earliest of the
        following dates: the "anniversary date" of any agreement between
        Baan, or 12 months from the date of Baan's notice of approval.

   G.   Baan may, from time to time, give Reseller written notice of
        amendments to this authorization.  Any such amendment will
        automatically become a part of this authorization 30 days from the
        date of the notice, unless otherwise specified in the notice.

   H.   Any change in the Reseller's vertical market(s), primary reselling
        geography, must be approved in writing by Baan.

   I.   Baan, Distributor or Reseller may terminate this authorization
        without cause at any time upon 30 days written notice or with cause
        at any time upon 15 days written notice.

   J.   This authorization will terminate immediately if Reseller ceases to
        have a buying relationship with Distributor, or Baan's agreement with
        Distributor terminates.

   K.   Upon expiration without renewal or termination of this authorization
        for any reason, Reseller will immediately cease to be a Baan Reseller
        and will refrain from representing itself as such and from using any
        Baan trademark or trade name.

   L.   Upon expiration without renewal or termination of this authorization,
        all rights to any accrued Baan market expansion funds will
        automatically lapse.

   Reseller Obligations
   A.   At Baan's discretion, and upon reasonable notice to Reseller, Baan or
        Baan's designate will be given on-site access to Reseller's customer
        lists, mailing lists, customers satisfaction files, inventory
        records, invoices, and other books and records of account as
        necessary to enable Baan to verify and audit Reseller's compliance
        with the terms of this authorization.  Failure to comply with Baan's
        request will be considered a repudiation of this authorization
        justifying Baan's termination of this authorization.

   B.   The following criteria apply to all Resellers in order to obtain and
        maintain Baan authorization to sell Baan products.

        1.   Reseller must comply with all training requirements designated
             by Baan on each product line the Reseller carries.

        2.   Reseller's sale of "Baan Software Support Options" and other
             support services to its end-user customers is subject to the
             terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Baan support
             reference materials.

        3.   Reseller is responsible for maintaining support services for the
             added-value portion of the system.

        4.   Reseller will provide the following information to Distributor
             (or upon request to Baan), at time of order or prior to shipment
             of Baan products to end-user customer:

             a.   Name and address of end-user customer

             b.   Ship date of Baan products to end-user customer

             c.   Baan product numbers and serial numbers

             d.   Primary and alternate end-user customer Response Center
                  caller

             e.   Other information which Baan may reasonably require

   Licensing
   A.   Unless prior written consent is obtained from Baan, Reseller will not
        copy or modify any Baan materials supplied through Distributor,
        except that software materials may be copied for archival purposes,
        to replace a defective copy, or for program error verification. 
        Reseller will not remove, omit, or alter any label or copyright
        notice on these materials.

   B.   Reseller is granted the right to distribute software materials
        supplied by Baan in accordance with the Software License Agreement
        attached hereto.  Reseller may also use the materials for
        demonstration purposes in accordance with that Software License
        Agreement.

        1.   Where an end-user agreement is supplied with the software, the
             user must sign the agreement or indicate acceptance by opening
             the media package in order to obtain a license to use the
             software.  Use of the software will be subject to the terms of
             the agreement.

        2.   Where the software is designated as confidential or trade secret
             in its license terms, Reseller will safeguard the software in
             accordance with industry standards and applicable law, using the
             same degree of care to prevent unauthorized disclosure as it
             uses with its own trade secrets and those of other suppliers.

   Trademarks; Logos; Trade Names
   A.   From time to time, Baan may authorize Reseller in writing to use one
        or more designated Baan trademarks, logotypes, trade names, and
        insignia (Baan Marks).  Reseller is authorized, upon Baan's execution
        of this authorization to use the Baan Mark, known as the Baan
        Solution Partner Insignia.  Reseller may use the Baan Marks solely in
        connection with the sales, advertisement, and promotion of the Baan
        products purchased from Distributor.  Any use of the Baan Marks must
        be in good taste, in a manner that preserves their value as Baan
        Marks, and in accordance with all standards and guidelines provided
        by Baan for their use.

   B.   Reseller will not use any Baan Mark or symbol in a way that may imply
        that Distributor or Reseller is an agency or branch of Baan.  Upon
        Baan's request, Reseller will discontinue the use of any Baan Mark or
        symbol.  Any rights or purported rights in any Baan Marks acquired
        through Distributor's or Reseller's use belong solely to Baan.  All
        rights to use the Baan Marks shall cease upon expiration or
        termination of this authorization, at which time Reseller will
        immediately cease to be a Baan authorized Baan Business Partner and
        will refrain from representing itself as such.

   C.   Reseller agrees not to resell demonstration Baan products.

        1.        Reseller can advertise and promote any value added product
             that Reseller has developed to function in conjunction with the
             Baan product.  In such advertisement or promotion, Reseller can
             state that the Reseller is a Baan Reseller and that the
             Reseller's value added product functions in conjunction with the
             Baan product.
        2.        Reseller can create and distribute an introductory
             marketing piece that may be sent to Reseller's existing user
             base outside the territories stated in A.3 below, in an effort
             to educate the user base as to the new offerings and status of
             Reseller's business.
        3.        Reseller can advertise and promote their Baan-related
             services to their existing user base outside the territories
             stated in A.3 below, with the prior consent of Baan management
             and if it is in conjunction with a Baan sponsored or supported
             marketing program targeted at the Reseller existing user base."

   Relationships

   Section F.  Delete the Section in its entirety and replace with the
   following: "This authorization is effective upon notice of approval by
   Baan, and shall remain in effect for an initial term of one (1) year. 
   This Authorization will automatically renew at the end of the initial term
   and any subsequent term for a renewal term of one (1) year, unless
   terminated by either Baan, Distributor or Reseller in accordance with the
   terms set forth in this agreement."

   Paragraph G.  At the end of the Section insert "It is Baan's general
   purpose to make such changes as are reasonably necessary to improve Baan's
   reseller program, in Baan's sole opinion.  The intent of changes to the
   program is not to negatively impact any reseller."

   need to be executed."

   Reseller Obligations

        Section A.  After the phrase "Baan's designate will be given on-site
        access to Reseller's" insert the phrase "Baan-related".  In the
        second sentence after the phrase "the terms of this Authorization"
        insert the phrase "is mandatory".  At the end of the Section insert
        "Baan shall use reasonable care to prevent any unauthorized
        disclosures of any Reseller confidential information which Baan may
        have access to pursuant to this Section.  Baan shall use the same
        degree of care in protecting Reseller's trade secrets as it would use
        with its own trade secrets."

   Licensing

   Section B.2.   Delete "reseller" and insert "Reseller".

   At the end of the Authorization, insert the following:

   "Miscellaneous

        A.        Baan recognizes that Reseller has considerable Hot Line
             Telephone Support resources and capability.  Both Baan and
             Reseller may wish to exploit this capability to rapidly
             penetrate the market for companies in the $10-100mm sales range
             with the Baan product.  To this end, Baan and Reseller agree to
             investigate opportunities to use Reseller resources either as a
             subcontracting resource to Baan, or as a direct supplier of Hot
             Line Telephone Support to Reseller's new and existing customers
             that have licensed the Baan Software.

        B.        Baan recognizes the urgency of creating a program for the
             migration of Reseller's customers to the Baan Product. 
             Therefore, Baan and Reseller will use reasonable best efforts to
             create and announce, prior to April 30, 1998, a migration
             promotion for new and existing Reseller customers, such that
             they will have an attractive growth path from the Reseller
             product line to the Baan product.  This promotion should allow
             the Reseller customer to migrate at their option.

        C.        Baan and Reseller will use best efforts to meet within the
             next thirty (30) days to discuss the possibility of providing
             Reseller with a current copy of the Baan source code, and
             keeping Reseller current on any new releases.

   IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Addendum as of the date
   first written above.
