eX BizTracker 3.12 – Now Adapted for FileMaker 12

June 15th, 2012

Converting a FileMaker Pro solution written in the .fp7 format to the new .fmp12 file format is an extremely painless task. To illustrate this, we did a straight conversion on our ever-popular Excelisys Business Tracker (eXBT). The result was an almost identical solution with only minor interface changes (some layout objects required slight adjustment of size and/or placement) and one minor adjustment to the navigation script. Otherwise, everything else behaved normally and without any additional modifications.

To jazz things up a bit, we took advantage of the new object states feature and you will now see that the buttons in the top Navigation Bar will highlight just by rolling over them with the mouse. This new feature takes very little time to implement, but goes a long way to provide users with powerful, additional visual feedback of their actions.

Hire Excelisys…

September 27th, 2011

Hire Excelisys…

and you get a team
Of experts, neat and clean;
Of gurus, young and old
Innovative and bold.

We reside
Outside the box not inside;
Adept in every field,
Technology we wield
As a tool
Using what is right and cool
And before you ask,
With every task
We give it serious thought
About what we ought
To use,
Listening to your views.
Though we may perplex
We recommend what is best
And don’t fear
We’ll tell you what you need to hear.

For the hours that you bought
You’ll get more than you sought
For we are thinking far in advance
Not locked in a rigid trance.
And yes we confess
There are those who’ll work for less
And who cower
At charging by the hour
But at the end of the day
It’s not what you pay;
It’s whether the job is done well
And not languish in development hell.
It’s not a crime
To charge for time
But it is a sin
To not deliver a thing
Or to have it done so bad
That all you get is mad.

Our team has won awards
And crossed swords
With many a tricky job.
Of course, we have a blog
And we publish quite a lot
That’s something we do not
Do for reward,
Or another award
But because we care
And we like to share
The knowledge that we gain;
And not refrain.

So, if there is something that you need
Think of the Excelisys creed
And know that it is true
That we can help … you
No matter what the case
Or how difficult it is to embrace.
And the one thing that we don’t know
Is the meaning of ‘No!’

10 years ago…

September 7th, 2011

2001 was very memorable for lots of reasons. FileMaker 5.5 was our tool of choice. We had hot computers like the new PowerMac G4 and cool PDA’s like the Handspring Visor Pro. You remember Handspring, er I mean Palm er, I mean HP, oh never mind.  2001 was the year the iPod was introduced!  5GB’s of music in your pocket for only $400! Whooo hoo!! Click wheel, smoooooth! Music on the go has never been the same.

This post isn’t about the latest computer or gadget, the real reason for this post is not to talk about how things used to be or how cheap things were (Gas $1.52 per gallon). This post is to celebrate our 1st 10 years of existence. That in itself should be celebrated. When a company starts 11 days before 9/11 and survives for 10 years you can bet they will be around when you need them 10 years from now in the middle of the night when your job is on the line.

The more things change, the more they stay the same…

Excelisys Welcomes New VP of Sales and Partner

March 15th, 2011

Excelisys, Inc., a database solutions and consulting organization specializing in quality custom database application design, development, and consulting, is pleased to announce the promotion of Rick Middleton to Vice President of Sales. In addition to his new role as VP, Rick will become Excelisys’ fifth partner, joining Christo, Kurt Knippel, Greg Furry and Geoff Ryle.

“It’s been a pleasure working with Rick for the past few years, he has shown a true knack for sales and been a real asset in client relations,” said Kurt Knippel, Vice President of Production. “His dedicated service to the team makes this promotion a win-win for everyone.”

Middleton joined the Excelisys sales team in 2006 as an account/business manager. Before he began securing new business for Excelisys, he served in the United States Marine Corps, where his main duties included security forces, counter terrorism and information technology. After leaving the Marines, Rick ran his own business, installing security cameras for clients ranging from Gander Mountain to 7-Eleven. “In my own company, I was everything: sales, accounting, purchasing, etc. Here at Excelisys, we have a team approach, which works great for me. If one of us needs any help, someone else is there to assist and keep us moving.”

“Rick has been an incredible asset to our team,” said Christo, CEO and Co-Founder of Excelisys. “This isn’t one of those political internal promotions. Rick worked his way up and has earned his current position.”

“Rick knows the value of good communication and following through,” said Geoff Ryle, Co-Founder and President. “With him, nothing ever falls through the cracks. His promotion is indicative of his dedication, because he really gives a damn about his job.”

“Rick is always looking at ways to make the sales process easier for our customers before the sale and throughout the entire project lifecycle with Excelisys,” added Greg Furry, Vice President of Technology.

As Vice President of Sales, Rick will oversee the Excelisys sales team and their international client base. As Excelisys’ fifth partner, he will join the strategic leadership ranks of one of the world’s premier database solutions and consulting organizations.

“Taking over the reigns as VP of Sales and joining the other four partners here is a great honor. These guys are the best. They care about our clients and they care deeply about our developers and sales staff. Without them, we are nothing.”

About Excelisys, Inc.:

For over 9 years, Excelisys, Inc. has been helping companies become more efficient, reliable, and profitable by providing solid, integrity-driven consulting and development software services.
