Not that I'm aware of.  The setup Susan is working on is stand-alone so far.

Well, that's kind of the problem.  We heard at the pilot rollout meeting 
from Bob Bellamy that SIMS may be around for another four years. 
Apparently, NCWise is failing miserably and is becoming very expensive. 
  This is all second-hand information though, so I'd venture to say that 
they are probably running into normal beta-type problems.
