Alventis announces a breakthrough in information management

(Montréal, Canada, September 28, 2006) Alventis Corporation announced immediate availability of its new information management application suite Alventis.
Alventis bridges the gap between a personal information manager (PIM) and a database management system (DBMS). It is the first application to satisfy the needs of both individual users and small or medium enterprise, while not requiring any programming expertise.

Alventis starts by offering the user various tables and data-entry forms that are immediately usable. This alone would constitute a competent PIM, but Alventis goes far beyond that.
All tables and forms are fully customizable. A user can make changes to the existing forms and tables and create new ones using a highly-efficient integrated development environment (IDE) called Alventis Designer. A novel approach to designing tables, fields, and forms does not rely on property sheets, coding, or macros to accomplish essentially the same application development tasks as such well-known environments as Microsoft Access, FileMaker, Alpha Five, or Oracle. Alventis achieves much of the same result with absolutely no programming required. Thus, even relational database solutions can be implemented in mere minutes, all without writing a single line of code.

New to Alventis, search can be performed on as many data tables as desired, regardless of their structure. The tables themselves may belong to different databases or servers. Alventis is capable of working concurrently with local data, as well as an unlimited number of data sources via peer-to-peer or client/server access. The results of a search are presented in a cumulative list, even though the searched tables may have heterogeneous structures.

A number of other important features deserve mention:
· Banded reports can be created on-the-fly with unprecedented ease.
· Alventis supports rich text Memo fields, so each table can contain one or more modern word-processors letting the user produce documents with complex layout and formatting.
· A sophisticated multi-user security model provides fine-grained control over user's rights.
· Record grouping, sorting, filtering, and dynamic summaries offer rapid data visualization.
· Full-text indexing ensures lightening-fast searches (including Boolean logic and wildcards).
· Forms can be created or modified "live" in an on-line database.

A powerful and flexible database management solution for non-programmers, Alventis offers unprecedented ease of use with the shortest learning curve.

Alventis is available for all current Windows versions in three competitively-priced editions: Standard (US$80), Professional (US$160), and Enterprise (US$450). The latter edition includes the server.
