FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ASCENDING TECHNOLOGIES OFFERS FREE FILEMAKER PRO CONVERSION/MIGRATION CONSULTATION CHICAGO, IL -- March 22, 2004 -- Ascending Technologies today announces that it will be offering free systems reviews for FileMaker Pro 5 and 6 customers. "FileMaker Pro 7 was released last week, and it's received an enormous amount of positive coverage in the press. But is it for everyone on week one? Maybe," said Steve Abrahamson, founder of Ascending Technologies. "We've been working closely with FileMaker, Inc. on this release for about a year and a half, and it's just a fantastic product, but it's so different that not everyone can just go jump in. We want to help as many customers as we can to form an intelligent strategy that's right for them. That's why we're doing this now; we want to make sure that customers who rely on FileMaker Pro can make a good transition and avoid potentially losing a lot of time, and enduring great frustration, by converting prematurely." FileMaker Pro 7 can convert most older files, but it's a very different structure than in previous versions, and the conversion routines cannot possibly take into account everything. Ascending Technologies along with other industry leading developers have studied the issues in depth, and are aware of the pitfalls. "Everyone's doing something to help," said Abrahamson. "Some of our colleagues are running seminars; we're taking a one-on-one approach." Free system evaluations are available for a limited time; contact Ascending Technologies directly for more information. http://www.asctech.com Ascending Technologies is a developer of custom solutions and the proud developer of the Monster family of products, including PerformanceMonster, ThemeMonster, and the widely acclaimed flagship product, CalendarMonster.
