AQUAFOLD MISSION
To create quality software tools to solve the problems of end users/developers easily and efficiently.
ABOUT AQUAFOLD
AquaFold, Inc. was founded in 2001 by a single software developer who took his personal need for a cross-platform and cross database development tool and turned it into a product. Over the years this product evolved into a company as demand for it exploded, especially in the financial and banking industry.
Now, within AquaFold's headquarters in Silicon Valley, constant development continues based on what its community of users ask for. Research and development progress and are constantly adjusted based on what end users need and want. AquaFold's employees are extremely dedicated, extensively experienced and unrelentingly end-user focused software developers. They use the product they sell and respond as quickly as possible to end-user questions and feature requests.
Communicating with end-users to develop features they need is the focus of the entire company. A very heavy emphasis is placed on engineering and software development for end users.
MARKET POSITION
Over 300,000 users from over 90 different countries use Aqua Data Studio to design, develop and administer their relational databases. The spectrum of users is very broad. Although the Financial and Banking industry is at the core of the user base, users also include local, state and national governments in North America, Europe and elsewhere. Public and private educational institutions from around the globe are customers, as are 84 of the Forbes 500 companies. Telecommunications companies, biotech companies and energy companies have long been users as well. Numerous Open Source Software Developers (OSSD) manage and develop for relational databases using AquaFold's no-cost OSSD license.
AquaFold's goal is to give end users the best product, with the best support for the best price.
AQUAFOLD DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY
It is essential to quickly communicate with, and directly respond to, end users in order to create the tools they need to solve their problems. Market response to this philosophy has reinforced its use at AquaFold. AquaFold's continuous upgrade process, where new functionality and features are included in a never-ending cycle instead of being damned up for distinct version releases, is something its employees hold as central to its corporate philosophy.
AquaFold continues its cyclic releases and adds features and functionality in an endless stream that flows to, and at the request of, end users. Impeding this flow is counter to what users and AquaFold want.
Users are often pleased at how quickly development continues and how rapidly their needs are fulfilled. AquaFold constantly puts itself in the position of its users, who want to work quickly and efficiently with tools that have been designed with productivity in mind.
