SOUTH BEND, IN (PRWEB) March 11, 2004 --- Excelisys, a worldwide leader of custom software development, announced today their completion of the FileMaker Business Tracker, a fully relational real-world database solution distributed free of charge by FileMaker Inc.

Business Tracker is a real working solution, providing all the basic functionality required to run a small business; storing companies and contacts, products and invoices, dynamic reports and context-sensitive help.

Throughout the development process, Excelisys found that the new FileMaker Pro 7 performed far beyond expectations. This release is absolutely revolutionary," comments Excelisys Director of Operations Geoff Ryle. With all the new features, it represents a very significant reduction in required code, perhaps 75 to 80%. Now well be able to deliver outstanding value to our clients... better, sooner and more than ever." The Business Tracker is contained in a single file, which during development allowed for the repurposing of code and consolidation of scripts, as well as taking advantage of new graphic interface possibilities. The result is what many have commented to be the very best demonstration ever of a new FileMaker Pro version release.

Were seeing a huge potential and opportunity here," commented Christo Lowe, Excelisys Director of Marketing.

We can easily add things like direct email, inventory control, calendaring and reminders... and a myriad of other possibilities."
