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!’

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.”

Engineers at FileMaker Inc. have finally dispelled a rumor.
During the recent FileMaker Developer Conference in San Francisco last month, quite a few attendees approached us asking whether a statement heard in one of the sessions was true or not. It seems one of the presenters from FMI suggested the idea that Excelisys‘ now famous drag-n-drop technique was not necessarily reliable and should be used with caution.
The statement was made in recognition of the fact that the technique, which allows you to create a once-impossible user interface feature, is based on what engineers call an “unexpected behavior” which could possibly change in future versions of FileMaker Pro. However, this behavior is NOT a bug, and is in fact considered a feature by many developers.
The behavior in question is the fact that an auto-enter calc will trigger before a script trigger is executed. Discovering this behavior was a surprise to many, including FMI engineers.
We wanted to set the record straight, so we spoke with FileMaker engineers. The word finally came down from them this week that there is almost no likelihood of this behavior changing anytime soon. Of course, FMI can’t guarantee the low-level behavior will persist in future versions, nor would we expect them to. But we are confident that such a change is highly unlikely.
So relax and integrate this amazing technique into your solutions with confidence. The advice to use with caution is generally made when any technique is dependent on an unexpected behavior. But with a confirmation direct from the “horse’s mouth”, as it were, we consider this a green light.
