Productive
Computing, Inc. Acquires FileBooks Link Product Line from HAPPY Software,
Inc.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
San Diego, CA – December 18, 2008 - Productive Computing, Inc., a Platinum
member of the FileMaker Business Alliance, today announced the acquisition of
the FileBooks Link plug-in product line from HAPPY Software, Inc. and the release
of a newly enhanced version of the FM Books Connector plug-in.
“This acquisition and product release introduces the consolidation of the
two predominant methods developers use when integrating FileMaker Pro with QuickBooks
into a single plug-in. As a result, the FileBooks Link product is no longer available
for sale however this new version of the FM Books Connector plug-in now offers
the additional XML functionality with nearly identical function calls used with
the FileBooks Link plug-in. In addition we have detailed technical documentation
outlining which FM Books Connector functions correspond to which FileBooks Link
functions. These extra functions and documentation were added to the FM Books
Connector product in order to provide those developers who are more familiar
with the FileBooks Link plug-in an easy and familiar way to use the FM Books
Connector plug-in.
By combining the technology and support infrastructure of the these two leading-edge
plug-ins, we will continue to drive innovations that help developers everywhere
integrate FileMaker Pro with QuickBooks.” - CEO, Marc Larochelle
Existing FileBooks Link customers can continue to use the FileBooks Link plug-in
licenses as they always have however no new licenses will be sold.
Under the terms of the agreement HAPPY Software, Inc. will continue supporting
existing customers through February 28th of 2009. After February 28th, Productive
Computing, Inc. will continue to support the product under their paid support
program.
"We look forward to earning the loyalty of existing FileBooks Link customers
by demonstrating our commitment to produce an excellent product that provides
the best of both integration methods. In addition, we are confident that those
customers who are new to using the FM Books Connector will be comforted knowing
that their QuickBooks integration projects will have the full weight and strength
of our phone support team and custom development staff behind them. We anticipate
the transition to be smooth and this acquisition demonstrates that we are committed
to having a QuickBooks plug-in for the FileMaker Pro platform that will exist
for many years to come." - CFO, Keith Larochelle
