About 20/20 Software

20/20 Software, Inc. is a software development company offering personal
computer database products and services. The business strategy of the
company is to mix commercial product development with custom database
consulting activities. This mix of business provides a smoothing effect on
the workload (commercial product development takes up the "slack time" in
our consulting activities) which helps keep our consulting rates
competitive and allows us to offer commercial products at attractive
prices.

Our philosophy is simple - provide our customers and clients with
efficient, cost-effective solutions to their needs. Small
projects/products are taken just as seriously as large ones. We can do as
little or as much as is necessary - from a full database system design and
implementation with on-going maintenance to simply providing an extra hand
to assist a client's in-house staff during a busy period.

The 20/20 team has worked together for slightly over two years and provides
an ideal mix of skills and experience. Team members have worked with all
of the major PC databases including Alpha Four, dBASE, FoxPro, Paradox,
PC-File, R:BASE, and is/has been an authorized beta test site for certain
Windows database products. Our team's experience spans high level data
base applications (hotel management, inventory control) to highly
technical development of database compilers and database query engines.
Our current commercial product offerings include database related products
for dBASE, FoxPro, Paradox and R:BASE. We have particularly close working
relationships with Borland International (producer of dBASE and Paradox)
and Microrim (producer of R:BASE). In fact, Microrim, after reviewing all
database imaging products, selected the 20/20 imaging product to add to
their OWN product line and currently resells the product world-wide.
