dBase LLC is a new company created by group of investors, experienced technology and business leaders, and former employees of dataBased Intelligence, Inc. (dBI), a privately held company that had been the legal heir to dBASE . dBase LLC has a vision to serve small- and medium-sized business by helping them simply and effectively transform raw data into valuable information.

In addition to dBASE, the new organization will continue to market and support dBI’s other products—dQuery and dbEverywhere—as well as launch new versions with advanced features and capabilities. dBase will also bring to market business intelligence products and other software tools designed to help customers be more productive and market competitive.

dQuery is a software solution that connects in real-time the 12 most popular database products on the market today. dQuery enables users to solve critical and often time-sensitive business decisions without having an IT department create custom programs or reports.

dbEverywhere is a simple-to-use, Wizard-based product that enables users to create interactive data-driven Web sites. dbEverywhere automatically generates an industry-standard framework that is based on the leading LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) approach. This allows Web site creators to focus on design, rather than software code, saving 80 percent of the time required to build today’s Web sites. dbEverywhere also installs a complete “mini-internet” on the desktop, including all the tools needed to develop, test, debug and run the pages and applications you create, without leaving the Wizard.
