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 a PICK, jBase, ARev, OpenInsight, or UniBasic (UniData/UniVerse/U2) Programmer, Consultant or PICK software house left you hanging, 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. So if you have PICK or RPL programmers on staff, they won't be left pounding the pavement. Click here to request a FREE AccuTerm GUI demo. You will need the most current version of AccuTerm 2k2 installed on your PC. You can get a 30-day free evaluation or a free upgrade by clicking here. Then via Skype VOIP or land line teleconference, our CEO will help you link up with our TigerLogic/D3 demo system by remote access for a 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 ...?

You have nothing to lose but your programming backlog and your high blood pressure. Attention RPL Clients! Think you have to switch software and "flatten" your database in order to "go GUI"? Think again! MvCaTs is pleased to announce a strategic alliance with Bakken Software Services to convert RPL to PICK Basic via their Reflections® utility. At the low 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. 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. MvCaTs has discovered the existence of a Universal Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). It has six phases: Du, Undu, Redu, Vudu, DuDu, and Yudu! Every PICK programmer since the dawn of time (or at least since December 31, 1967) has followed this cycle (knowingly or unknowingly). And each at some point ends up mired in the Dudu. Every PICK programmer has also discovered that when adhering to management constraints, there is NEVER enough time to do it right but ALWAYS enough time to do it twice. We would like to take a moment to pay homage to these Universal Truths since they are what keep us gainfully employed. We're not your typical PICK software house ...

"LONE WOLF" PACT 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), 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 PICK, jBase, ARev, OpenInsight, or UniBasic (UniData/UniVerse/U2) 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". On Broadway, every lead actor or actress has a stand-in, rehearsed, paid, and waiting in the wings because the show must go on. MvCaTs offers a wide variety of discounted 24/7/365 MultiValue Software Maintenance Agreements to provide low-cost peace of mind whenever a PICK, jBase, ARev, OpenInsight, or UniBasic (UniData/UniVerse/U2) programmer or VAR wants help or needs scheduled or unscheduled time off.
Our 10% New Client Discount for the first 90 hours or the first 90 days gives you time to consider an SMA.
Weighing the pros & cons of Consultant -vs- Employee? Click here ... MvCaTs delivers BMW performance at a Volkswagen price An MvCaTs Consultant can 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.

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.
