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.
