User friendly with a good interface and good scalability
I like FileMaker due to the fact that it's relational. You can put it right in and it's user-friendly. It's easy to code and it's easy to make things. You can design reports and so on. It doesn't require a whole lot of coding experience. I've used FileMaker in the past. I've used a program, platform called Omnis, which is a RAD, a rapid application development program. We're just trying to find some tools. We've got lots of data, lots of data and Excel has not changed since 1989 or thereabouts. The structure has not changed. It's still the same old entry formula, and you've got limited space and no debugger. Its reporting is not easy. You could spend your life understanding Excel. No one can afford to do that anymore. FileMaker is much easier. It's a pretty good tool and there's a lot of support and there's a lot of people out there that know how to use it. FileMaker has done a good job setting up value-added resellers, much like Adobe Connect. It has a pretty good interface.

FoxPro software development system is used in designing sophisticated database applications
- I noticed that FoxPro is slow and this was a problem for me - It does not have high level of administrative security - It is not very portable, for using a very portable DMS I recommend Microsoft Access - When I needed to process large quantities of records per hour I was dissapointed by FoxPro
