A new challenge is before us. Migrating a FileMaker Pro database on a Mac OSX machine to MySQL on a hosted server. So we can handle Mac and PC implementations.

Discovery

Sunday, July 11th, 2010

I enjoy the discovery phase of a project; learning a new business, seeing how other people arrange and manage their business. No two businesses are the same. There lies the shortfall of software packages. They are not able to be tailored to suit each unique situation. Instead you have to adapt your organization to fit the Software. That is not a way to purchase software. Every company needs software tailored to how they do their business. It always is easier to adapt your custom software than it is to change the way people do their jobs.
