FM Books Connector Plug-in For Use With QuickBooks

[Productive Computing, Inc.]

San Diego, CA - September 22, 2006 - Productive Computing, Inc. a FileMaker Solutions Alliance Partner, today announced the release of the FM Books Connector Plug-in for use with QuickBooks. The FM Books Connector plug-in provides a simple to use conduit for FileMaker Pro to access every record stored in a QuickBooks company file. Using this plug-in you can freely and easily exchange data between these two powerful applications and it is as simple as using a handful of script steps that do not require any knowledge of XML!

"Our vision was to build a plug-in that would simplify the complicated task of FileMaker Pro QuickBooks integration. To that end, we developed a plug-in that easily allows a developer to map QuickBooks field data with FileMaker Pro field data using a few script steps and without the need to construct XML statements.

We believe this new and easy method of communicating with QuickBooks will revolutionize how developers integrate FileMaker Pro databases. Because it is so easy to use, it will reduce the time for development and cost to the end user which adds value to the entire FileMaker Pro platform."

- CEO Marc Larochelle
