Panorama is a powerful RAM based database for storing, organizing and analyzing information, available in both single user and server versions. Since 1988 Panorama has been in use all over the world for everything from custom accounting to medical research, from huge college track meets to blockbuster Hollywood productions. Panorama's unique RAM based technology makes it the fastest and most flexible database on the market. Key features of Panorama include:
Effective database management is the lifeblood of any successful organization, large or small. The benefits of superior database technology drop right to the bottom line — staff and inventory will be more productive, customer loyalty will grow, vendors will be at your beck and call, management will make smarter decisions. That's why for most organizations, it's mission critical to deploy the best database technology available today.
"Have I communicated just what I find so wonderful about this program? It's the fact that my data feels safe and is easy to check on. It's the ingenious anticipation of my needs. It's how the workings of my databases are easy to track down. It's the fact that easy things are easy and hard things are not that hard, in contrast with other database programs where you have to dance all around the moon to get certain things done. Ultimately, it's the total programmability, which makes me feel I could build anything I like." - Matt Neuburg, TidBITS.com
"I use Panorama for all my administrative needs running my business, a small record label. It's perfect for recording orders, billing, printing invoices, labels and letters, reminding me when to follow up on something and most importantly tracking sales. Data can be manipulated in any number of ways and changing how data is displayed can be set up with ease. Creating a new database takes seconds! Panorama's ease of use and speed make my life so much easier. I recommend it to anyone running a business of any size." - Scott August, Cedar Mesa Music, Hollywood, CA
Did you know that most popular database programs still use technology originally invented for mainframe computers decades ago? In the dawn of the computer age even these colossal giants had only tiny amounts of RAM available. 
Though electronic RAM memory is thousands of times faster than mechanically based disk drives, early programmers had no choice — in those days only disk drives had the capacity to get serious database jobs done. Some programmers dreamed of using lightning fast RAM technology to make databases far more powerful and flexible, but with the technology of the time that idea was still in the realm of science fiction.
Today those mainframe dinosaurs are long gone, and even budget PCs have RAM capacity far in excess of typical database needs. With efficient storage algorithms, over 10,000 records can be stored per megabyte of RAM — that's over a million records in 100 megabytes! Panorama is the first full featured database software to seize this incredible opportunity. Panorama is fully RAM based, a complete break from the disk based technology of a bygone era. 
The payoff is huge speed gains across the board — not double or triple, but in many cases actually thousands of times faster than traditional disk based programs. You'll feel like you've broken the sound barrier right at your desk! There is no magic or fancy programming involved — it's simply the difference between mechanical and electronic storage technology.
When every second counts, count on Panorama to make sure that deadlines are met with precision. Panorama's speed gives you the power you need to rapidly react to changing needs and opportunities. You'll be confident that not only is the job done on time, but that every detail is perfect — no frustrating half-baked patch jobs, no tearing your hair out when specifications change, no cramming up to the last minute. Every detail is in place, in order, and up to date. Start planning now — what will you do with your free evenings and weekends?
"I knew going into my project that I didn't have a clue what the database would look like in a year. And not only could I not predict what I was going to want, I didn't have time either to guess at what might be important or to spend a lot of time creating a database that performed tasks I didn't need. In short, I was flying low, fast, and blind, and I needed a highly maneuverable airplane to skim through my data. In a word: Panorama. It's both powerful and deep. Each month I have enhanced the database a bit more as I learned more about what I wanted." - Adam Engst, Publisher, Take Control Books
"Panorama has already been very useful this week, dealing easily with a 2-1/2 million record database (with over one hundred fields) that brings FileMaker to its knees. I haven't worked the tutorial yet, but I have been able to figure everything out so far by trying things and referring to the documentation as needed. Nice job." - David Fann, University of Florida (Panorama user for six days when this testimonial was written!)
"I'm sure there's at least $20,000 in software on my laptop, but Panorama continues to be — by far — my all-time favorite application and the best software investment I have ever made. I call Panorama my "secret weapon." No matter what other data manipulation tool someone might use, Windows, UNIX, mainframe, or Mac, I truly believe that Panorama should be in every serious computer user's toolkit. It is extremely approachable, useful to newbies in minutes, but also tremendously capable with depth few are ever likely to outgrow. At the same time, Panorama's RAM model is conceptually brilliant, leveraging today's fast CPUs filled with cheap memory. ...Superb product, superb continuous development, superb support."
- Danny Grizzle, Media Mogul Productions, TX
When you're working solo, switching from disk to RAM is a huge win. But if you're sharing data with a team, the benefits go even further! Other database programs use a centralized server approach to sharing data, an approach that fails to take advantage of the computing power available on the network. 
In contrast, the Panorama Enterprise Server system uses a mesh/synchronization approach to spread the load across the network while dramatically slashing the delays usually associated with many common database tasks.
The Enterprise system works like a formation of fighter jets teamed with an aerial tanker. Instead of hoarding all of the data on the central server, the Enterprise system distributes complete, redundant copies of the shared data across the network mesh. Operations that don't involve other clients (searching, sorting, analysis, reports, etc.) are performed independently at lightning speed in each client's local RAM. The server is only involved for coordinating data flow across the mesh, managing record locking and updating clients as necessary. 
Only changes flow across the mesh, lightening the load on the server and network. Just as fighter jets detach to perform their missions, a Panorama client can even disconnect from the network and continue working even when completely offline and detached — perfect for road warriors. Each users offline changes are synchronized automatically when returning to the network.
"Our large office relies completely on Panorama and Panorama Enterprise server, all running on 24 Mac Minis. In the past year we've logged every one of our more than 19,000 patient visits in our electronic health record, and it works great. We also use it for prescriptions, scheduling, billing, immunization records, checking and credit card accounts, and just about everything else we need. It never crashes or freezes and we've never lost any data." - Rickey L. Williams, M.D., M.P.H., President, Tanque Verde Pediatrics, Tucson, Arizona
"A movie this complex has literally tens of thousands of visual effects details to manage. We created over 30,000 quicktime clips during the course of the 300 production. Everything is on a tight deadline, and we can't afford to drop the ball on even a single detail. Panorama Enterprise allowed us to coordinate the work across the entire team, saving thousands of hours during the post-production process. I can say without reservation that the speed with which Panorama has allowed me to create applications has been a major factor in the success I've had in my profession."
-- Chris Watts, Visual Effects Supervisor "300"
"My business uses two dozen different software applications for various wide-ranging purposes. I can say without a doubt that Panorama and Panorama Enterprise is the best designed and executed software package I have had the pleasure of using. Panorama has become an integral part of my business and is employed for sales lead processing, order processing, shipment tracking, employee work plans, accounting, disbursements, inventory management, advertising planning, and software release tracking. Panorama has enabled us to easily develop forms and scripts that largely automate the many facets of business operations, and share these throughout our operation using Enterprise. I would instantly recommend Panorama to any business for their database needs." - Christopher E. Strangio, President, CAMI Research, Acton, MA
"We have built our entire company around Panorama and Panorama Enterprise. We have over 30 shared databases that smoothly keep everything we do running from A to Z. Panorama Enterprise keeps everyone on our team on the same page whether in the front office, sales, engineering, wirelessly in the shop, or remotely in the field. Our business never stops changing, but Panorama adapts easily to do whatever we need. As needs come up we just start building it and using it — Panorama can be custom programed to do everything I could even imagine a database could do, and at a fraction of the cost of "professional" systems like Oracle. There simply is no better value in software than this system." - Ken Bliss, Bliss Industries, Milpitas, CA

"My personal database needs were small in the beginning but over the last 24 years using OverVUE and Panorama, the projects have grown by leaps and bounds. My career as a database programmer has allowed me to use Panorama as the solution for a myriad of business needs including doctors, lawyers, hotels, jewelry stores, realtors, aircraft manufacturers, and many others. The best part of using Panorama has been that in all those years, I can't seem to ever remember having to tell a client, 'It can't be done.' Using Panorama to make the computers 'dance and sing' has always been such an enjoyable way to make a living." - Robert Ameeti, Irvine, CA
"Panorama is absolutely a top notch database manager in all respects. It runs flawlessly, it is stable, it is easy enough for a beginner to use and so programmable that it will challenge the best developers to fully use its power. Databases I have created range in complexity from a simple flat file project tracker to a very complex Panorama relational database. Over the years I have done database development with competing database managers including Oracle, 4D, Filemaker, and a few others, but I have always preferred to use Panorama. I can finish the job faster, ending with a highly funtional system. I have developed Panorama databases which manipulate millions of records as well as databases holding only a few records — all with equal success."
- Jack Stewart, Motorola, Phoenix, AZ
"I have once again realized what a joy it is to work with Panorama. This past week has been spent updating two old projects from several years ago — one in Filemaker, the other in Panorama. Panorama makes it so easy to examine database structure and program code. It was easy to see what needed to be worked on. I could easily add code from more recent projects to my Panorama project. I have all but finished my Panorama project, while the Filemaker project is still in the document and explain phase."
- Eric Bolden,
University of Wisconsin (Madison), WI
"Here at the Boulder County Treasurer's Office we have access to a host of software tools, but we had one gnarly problem that nothing could solve — except Panorama. Our bank sends us a daily report that needs to be processed, but the report format they send us is all mixed up. Only Panorama could extract the information, reformat it into a standard format, and merge it with information from our in-house database so we could automatically post payments. Before Panorama: at least an hour a day of tedious error prone hand entry. After Panorama: about 10 mintues to accurately post 50-100 accounts each day. The staff thinks I'm a hero. Thanks!" - Steve Elliot, Boulder County Chief Deputy Treasurer, Boulder, CO
