sqlDESKTOP a visual office productivity software for Linux desktop
ANTONY , March.11 2003– PIM announced today that it is shipping sqlDESKTOP
1.10.
In today business environment, information we need is located everywhere and
anywhere: files in PC drive, database records on server, emails in Outlook,
Web sites on the Internet. To find what we need, is like searching for a
pair of socks stored in two different messy drawers. 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. Documents are easy to find
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 it.

sqlDESKTOP stores all your documents (Word, Excel files etc..) in a database
and lets you :
- Add reminder's, To Do's with start / end date
-Categorize and locate information quickly by using keywords.
-Annotate any cataloged item to add additional information.
-Search by multiple criteria to locate cataloged items
DATA SECURITY
Do you remember your last virus attack, or the last hard drive breakdown?
How would your business be affected if all your desktop files (Excel, Word
etc... files) were destroyed or lost? 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.
RISK FREE MIGRATION PATH FROM WINDOWS to LINUX
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.
