Antony, France -- (press release excerpt) -- PIM announced today that it is shipping sqlDESKTOP 1.0.
sqlDESKTOP is a computerized manual filing system arranged just like an ordinary office with pictures of real cabinets and real folders. With sqlDESKTOP put in the same binder side by side documents related to the same topic regardless of their physical storage location or data format. You can arrange by project, by department or whatever makes sense to you. sqlDESKTOP doesn't tell you how to organize, it lets you do things your own way.
It's easy to use because you don't have to remember the exact name of the document or where you put it. Visually locate what you are looking for in a familiar office environment and click on the selected document.
With sqlDESKTOP your desktop files are stored on a database server. Servers are safer because server closets are physically secure, access to database are controlled and professionals regularly backup servers. With sqlDESKTOP there are no permanent files stored on your desktop. Recovery from a hard drive failure or other severe disaster is then easy, just ask a reseller to ship another desktop.
sqlDESKTOP runs on Windows and Linux. You can connect Windows and Linux desktops to the same server. Users can log on from Windows and Linux desktops to retrieve or share data. Windows users can log on from a Linux desktop to try this OS with their own actual data before considering a definitive migration. And it’s easy to switch back: they just have to log on from a Windows desktop.
Price of the network edition depends on quantity and starts from 50$ per user for 100 users to 100$ per user for 1 user. Free for certified schools or universities.
sqlDESKTOP is immediately available for download. The desktop edition is free.
