Navicat
for MySQL
This
powerful, multi-featured tool meets the needs of database
administrators and developers in small and medium
businesses while sharply reducing administrative costs.
The intuitive graphical user interface speeds up a
wide range of information handling. The product takes
MySQL administration to the next level by supporting
most of the latest MySQL features.
Since its launch in 2000, this product has acquired
more than 50,000 users in over 130 countries. This
growth and reach has been facilitated by continuous
software improvement. Up to October 2008, Navicat
had been downloaded more than two million times from
the Internet and is available in seven languages at
a current cost of US$169 for the enterprise edition.
Its excellent market performance can be judged from
the number of top tier customers it has attracted
in most major sectors.
Navicat allows data and table/file structure to be
synchronized among multiple MySQL databases and it
supports the widest range of import/ export data formats
in the market. It makes short work of complex queries
and reports as well as scheduled back-ups and many
different types of batch jobs.
It
offers many notable innovations and is the first software
to bring MS Access-like working experience to MySQL
users as well as offering extremely rapid and cost
effective performance. Data entry otherwise likely
to take hours can be completed within a minute or
so by Navicat's Import Wizard.
Aside from bringing clear bottom line benefits to
enterprise after enterprise, Navicat is a remarkably
worker friendly product that banishes the long drawn
out tedium of database operations with a few mouse
clicks.

Comments from Panel
of Judges |
"A well-positioned database
administration tool for MySQL and a model success
case for Hong Kong in the Web 2.0 era. The company's
adroit young IT practitioners have successfully followed
a non-traditional roadmap to success, partly through
rapid and thorough beta testing. They have ably shown
how a small home grown HongKong company can take on
overseas pioneers and win." |
