History
DataWaves has over 20 years of industry leading experience creating custom database solutions for a variety of clients including government, non-profit, education, and small businesses.
Our original 1996 tagline of 'Providing Practical Solutions to Everyday Chaos’ is as relevant to today’s complex inter-departmental government contracts or cutting edge retail systems as it was to our original small business clients.
DataWaves revolutionary approach to data systems structure has been adopted by developers world wide. Principal Colleen Hammersley is a sought after presenter of structural concepts at developer and user groups throughout Europe and North America and is the author of numerous white papers.
This cutting edge approach, coupled with Colleen’s innate business acumen and understanding of human workflow has created some of the most admired and complex FileMaker solutions in use today.
