Security, data flow, disk maintenance, script writing, system initialization, upgrade orchestration, communication, application porting, and software tools (like Unix style editors, macro processors, and email readers and agents) are just a few of our expert areas.

We specialize in data structures and databases, database to HTML filters, and custom web-database interfaces. We design, develop and deploy applications. Web based or local network based. Bottom line contracts or hourly, including support on demand. We provide outsource services for any size Unix project.

Visa and Mastercard accepted. We are located in Tucson, Arizona and provide on-site support most anywhere in Southern Arizona, including Tucson, Phoenix, Casa Grande, Sierra Vista, and Fort Huachuca.

Cloud Computing Expertise

Cloud computing is now a reality using EC2 services from Amazon. FirstBase Software can provide expert design and implementation of needed resources using pay-by-the-hour computers located in the cloud.

Use cloud computing resources to increase the number of CPUs in busy times, releasing the resources when they are not needed. Or merely backup priceless data into the cloud, automatically, for pennies per day.

Complete Open Source RDBMS

The FirstBase RDBMS and Application Builder consists of a large set of end user programs designed to create, manipulate, scan, organize, view, and format relational database and database systems under standard Unix environments. Full source code is freely available.

These tools are used to produce and maintain information tracking applications and systems of data based on relational databases while still maintaining the flexibility of Unix software tools.

FirstBase is a mature RDBMS product that was first commercially available in 1984. Although it is now freely available via an open source license, we continue to maintain and upgrade our beloved database application builder.

Our Unix data solutions often use FirstBase to input, store, and retrieve data, and as the glue between web pages and databases (without any other shell or perl scripts). In addition, we use one of the FirstBase tools (dbmacro) to parse all manner of incoming data to produce databases, reports, or pure HTML.

The Open Source release of the FirstBase RDBMS suite is now
automatically configurable on most any Unix system.
