Excelisys Announces “The Ex Files” for FileMaker Pro 8

New Jump-Start Solutions Slash Development Time, Combine The Best Of “Off The Shelf” Product and Custom Development

PHOENIX, AZ – August 29, 2005 – Excelisys, Inc., an industry leader of custom database software and developers of the ever-popular FileMaker Business Tracker, announce “The Ex Files”, their new line of “Jump-Start” solutions.

The Ex Files line up includes four solutions based on FileMaker Pro 8: ExCalendar (scheduling/calendaring); ExTracker (contact/activity manager); ExInventory (sales/e-commerce); and, ExMailer (campaigns/letters). Each of the Ex Files represents about 80% of the work done, leaving portions to be completed according to each customer’s precise needs. “The Ex Files” jump-starts are not available for individual sale, but are now included among the various rapid-development tools available to Excelisys customers. With the purchase of a pre-paid block of time, customers can choose which solutions they need for modification and integration.

“Shrink-wrapped product seldom fits just right. It either exceeds the needs of the user or it lacks specific functionality they’re looking for,” comments Excelisys co-founder Geoff Ryle. “With our jump-start solutions, most of the development is already done, leaving the best part, customization, to specifically address the individual needs of each of our customers. Now we are able to deliver outstanding value to our clients… more, better, and sooner than ever.”

“We’re seeing a huge potential and opportunity here,” sites Christo Lowe, Excelisys’ founder. “We are all about custom development. These jump-starts allow our production team to hit the ground running. We can easily tailor these systems, and integrate them with each other and other systems… and a myriad of other possibilities.”

In addition to further customizing the jump-start solutions for their clients, Excelisys also provides complete design and development of custom software and business process consulting, as well as the development of custom FileMaker Pro plug-ins.
