Click to Save/View Ever bought one of those applications that you need for use around the house or a small business that just does one or two little things?
Then find out you get what you pay for and it falls horribly short of your expectations?
Our US based company, TheDataManager, Inc., was formed to create solutions that fill the void of quality in low cost (under $100 US) applications. The goal was simple – take price off the table and over-deliver on quality.
It didn't take long after the first developer release of Mac OS X to realize this was the environment that would finally bring computing to the vast consumer market. What development tool do you use to allow you to meet that goal, yet is affordable to deploy? Well, to do it right you need a robust database, and, since it's a very big market, you need cross platform. Didn't take long to settle in on Omnis Studio. Cross platform; OS X compatible; should exceed any users need for storage and speed; a price point that allows deployment and an engineering group at Mitford House that continues to keep extending and polishing Studio.
Omnis Studio and OS X allowed us to create an application that looks like it came from inside Apple – it was even modeled similar to iApps. This application touches many of the Studio features and was developed to be able to take advantage of multiple users as required. We have also been able to deliver this as a single icon, double-clickable application under OS X.
The first product we released, TheRecipeManager, was perfect. OS X is easy for users, even new ones. The industrial strength of Studio has allowed us to create a recipe management tool with features that have never been seen before – yet still be easy to use. Affordable tools, before Studio were very limited in their abilities. Apple liked it as well and, since the release of TRM in January of 2004, have sold over 6,000 copies worldwide through the Apple stores and the Apple Store web site.
