Searching for a PICK, jBase, ARev, OpenInsight, or UniBasic (UniData/UniVerse/U2) Programmer or Consultant to put a GUI face on your "green screen" software? Need a Raining Data (TigerLogic), jBase, or IBM U2 (UniData/UniVerse) VAR to help with System Administration? We've been consulting & developing MultiValue / PICK Basic applications across various database platforms since 1982. If you've been left hanging by a PICK, jBase, ARev, OpenInsight, or UniBasic (UniData/UniVerse/U2) Programmer, Consultant or another PICK software house, we can help. Headquartered near Toledo, OH, USA, with District Offices from Coast to Coast, MvCaTs is the low price leader in MultiValue / PICK software house support. Want to "go GUI" without going broke? And still retain the Legacy Code and Database you have so much invested in? You don't have to leave PICK or RPL to "go GUI"! Did you know that programmers write AccuTerm GUI code in 100% MultiValue Basic, but the screens run in Visual Basic and C? As an Official AccuTerm GUI Resource, we can "put a GUI face on an old friend" faster and at less cost than you would think possible. We can upgrade just one screen, several, or your entire software suite. And your PICK or RPL programmers won't be left pounding the pavement. See the table below to request a FREE hands-on demo designed to erase every misconception you have about AccuTerm GUI. We believe it's one of the best kept secrets in the MultiValue world. And we're working hard to change that. Click here to see how we make the case for AccuTerm GUI Did you know that ...?

Take the MvCaTs Datatel Colleague Challenge We are so confident that we can support your Datatel Colleague software by remote access that we are willing to take a huge cut in pay for 3 months to prove it to you. Intrigued? Click here to learn more. Attention RPL Users! Think you have to switch software and "normalize" your database in order to "go GUI"? Think again! MvCaTs has formed a strategic alliance with Bakken Software Services to convert RPL to PICK Basic via their Reflections® utility. At a cost of just 15 cents per executable line of RPL (Realtime Processor Language) code, Reflections interprets RPL to Basic, producing highly accurate PICK code. MvCaTs can then parse the converted code to create AccuTerm GUI counterparts for RPL screens and reports. And our Version Control with User Preference will enable RPL users to run the new GUI screen or the existing RPL screen from the same menu selection. Now, you too can "go GUI" without going broke and still retain the Legacy Code and Database you have so much invested in. Click here to request info about an RPL to PICK Basic conversion. We're a MultiValue / PICK Software House, not a Recruiter
We're MvCaTs - PICK of the Litter when you need Support Click to see what some clients have said about us We Support Application Software Development on these MultiValue / PICK Systems: ADDS/NCR, Advanced Revelation (ARev), AP Pro, AT&T, D3 (Raining Data, TigerLogic), D3ProPlus, Honeywell, IBM U2 (UniData/UniVerse), jBase, mvBASE, mvENTERPRISE, OpenInsight, Power95Plus, Prime, R83, R91, Reality/Sequel, Ultimate, UniVision.

And we provide help with System Administration for TigerLogic (alias Raining Data, alias PICK Systems) D3, mvBASE, and mvENTERPRISE systems as well as jBase and IBM U2 (UniData/UniVerse). We have VARs (Value Added Resellers) on staff. And we have a network of contacts who can help you locate hard-to-find parts for older systems, regardless of the manufacturer. We also work with VARs across the U.S. to help you migrate to a new MultiValue system at a minimum of expense and often without the need for a conversion. Click for a list of Strategic Partners
"What happens to us if something happens to you?" Are you relying on a "Lone Wolf" PICK, jBase, ARev, OpenInsight, or UniBasic (UniData/UniVerse/U2) Programmer to support your MultiValue proprietary software? Or a solitary TigerLogic (Raining Data, PICK Systems), jBase, or IBM U2 (UniData/UniVerse) VAR to provide system support? If so, then you have probably asked this question: "What happens to us if something happens to you?" Or perhaps YOU are that Programmer, whether full-time or a "contract player", or that solitary VAR (Value Added Reseller), concerned about your position and the company if something happens while you are taking time off. We can help "hold your place". Our intent is to undergird, not undermine, your current IT staff. MvCaTs offers a wide variety of discounted 24/7/365 MultiValue Software Maintenance Agreements to provide low-cost peace of mind whenever you need support and whenever your PICK, jBase, ARev, OpenInsight, or UniBasic (UniData/UniVerse/U2) Programmer or VAR wants help or needs scheduled or unscheduled time off. After you engage MvCaTs via any one of our SMAs, we don't collect your monthly fee then sit around with our feet up eating bonbons. Instead, we roll up our sleeves and work side by side with you and your IT staff to resolve software and system issues and to create custom code which will make your life easier and your software more productive.
C O M M I T M E N T is a ten-letter word. Our 10% New Client Discount for the first 90 hours or the first 90 days gives you time to consider an SMA. We offer rates as low as $77.70 per hour, depending on what you are willing to commit to in terms of the minimum number of hours & months. Our Software Maintenance Agreements are single page, one side, no fine print, no mumbo jumbo.
Weighing the pros & cons of Consultant -vs- Employee? Click here ... MvCaTs delivers BMW performance at a Volkswagen price An MvCaTs Consultant could come to your place of business for the initial Onsite Survey, if desired. But it's much more affordable to have us conduct a Software Preview by secure remote access instead. Afterward, we develop and support your PICK / MultiValue application software from our District offices. See our Rates page for Sample Quotes. We encourage Clients to have their system vendors install and test all available O.S. patches and updates prior to engaging software support. Why? Because the system rather than the software may be the cause of some of your concerns. If patching the system alleviates the problem, you save unnecessary expense. If the problem persists, we're ready to help. Are you still limping along with an outdated PICK system, perhaps even an R83? That old workhorse deserves to retire. Perhaps you are not aware that Raining Data (now TigerLogic) took over the PICK brand. We have VARs (Value Added Resellers) on staff. And we know other national Value Added Resellers (VAR) who can most likely migrate your software and data to a new system WITHOUT the need for a conversion. In no time at all, you could be running your existing applications on your existing workstations (if you like) on a brand new, ultra fast, very stable TigerLogic D3. Then if a report which used to take an hour to process finishes in the time it takes you to walk to the printer, you could spend the rest of that hour wishing you had upgraded sooner. Contact us today for a Free Estimate. Here are Ten Compelling Reasons to Partner with MvCaTs:
Click here for our answer to the question "But why telecommute?" Of course ...
Loretta Lynn was once quoted as saying, “To succeed, you have to be first, best, or different.” We are obviously not the first PICK software house (although we may be the first Discount PICK software house). Someday, we would like to be considered the best. But one thing we definitely are is different. Our rates are lower for 3 reasons: 1) Our overhead is lower because we telecommute from District Offices so we don't need to maintain corporate headquarters or a fleet of vehicles. 2) Our productivity is higher because we telecommute so the hours formerly wasted commuting are now invested in programming. 3) Our billable hours are fewer because we don't do R&D at client expense to create vertical software packages. And we don't carry inventory for resale. Remember the first question the instructor asked in Intro to Philosophy 101? "If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it fall, did it make a sound?" You didn't have to be there to know it made a sound. And you don't have to see our Consultants in their District Offices, heads down, assaulting the keys, to know they are working diligently on your behalf. Only results matter. Why not put us to the test? Give us a small project. The results will speak for themselves. Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much.
Our Mission ... ...
