We’re happy to announce
the official production release of Casabase!
Casabase Personal Edition (PE) is a powerful aggregation and
analysis tool that runs directly in Excel on your desktop machine or laptop,
requiring no server component whatsoever. This doesn’t mean that your data is
siloed off though! You can export databases to a file and share them (either on
a shared drive or any other file-sharing method) with other Casabase users, who
can easily import them. The database itself can have refreshable data sources
that point to other SQL databases, or even files, ensuring that the database
always contains the latest data even after being shared.
Because there’s zero infrastructure outside of Excel (we
recommend Excel 2016), getting started is ridiculously simple. And to make it
even easier to see the potential of Casabase, we’ve included a sample database
as part of the install. CASAsamp is already setup and configured. Based
on the Microsoft Contoso dataset, it allows you to try out Casabase’s free-form
retrieval, as well as get acquainted with Casascripts. In fact, the Casascripts
included with the application were actually used to build CASAsamp itself.
There’s a free, fully-functional 14-day trial, so please download Casabase and let
us know what you think.
