While web-based word processors and spreadsheets such as those offered by
Google have had little success in convincing business users to replace their
desktop programs, Caspio's (www.caspio.com) web database and application
creation platform is replacing Microsoft Access and transforming the way
organizations create business-critical web database applications.
According to Grade statement, traditional desktop databases such as
FileMaker and Microsoft Access, a key element in the Microsoft Office suite,
have failed to evolve with the requirements of online applications and
web-enabled businesses. At the same time, database servers such as MySQL,
Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle require programming skills.
Caspio's flagship product, Caspio Bridge, is the leading 'Office 2.0'
database and application creation platform designed for non-programmers,
providing a fast point-and-click way to create custom business applications that
are deployable to any web site, hosted anywhere.
Frank Zamani founded Caspio in 2000 for the sole purpose of creating an
easy-to-use all-inclusive platform for creating and operating web applications
fast, without programming and at low cost. “We first looked at what was great
in Microsoft Access and created an AJAX-based software-as-a-service web database
to match its strengths,” said Frank Zamani, Founder and CEO, Caspio. “Then,
we created intuitive step by step wizards around our web database to empower
non-programmers to create rich web-based applications. Page(s) 1
