Travel Recommendation Database

New Travel Recommendation Database application is added to the application library. This is a great tool to use for the frequent traveler or team of travelers. Keep track of all the great places you visit, bars, hotels, restaurants and transportation services. Next time you or a colleague are traveling to a city you can check this database to see what is good.

Using Formula Columns for Data Altering

After initial data upload has been completed, sometimes you need to convert it into another format or represent it in some other form. TeamDesk allows you to perform such modifications on the fly.

Migration to x64 Platform

We are going to migrate to the x64 platform during the weekend. TeamDesk users may experience short interruption of the service and may be asked to re-enter their credentials after the migration.

Using Advantages of TeamDesk Import

To save your time and facilitate your effort on data processing, TeamDesk is enhanced with the import/export features. Pretty standard solution for an application of this type, one may say. Yet, TeamDesk uses these features to solve a variety of tasks and helps to lighten your work appreciably.

How to make money with TeamDesk?

We are receiving numerous requests about the availability of an affiliate/partner program for TeamDesk. Let's try to summarize our vision on how we could work together today:

• You may provide setup consulting services to your TeamDesk customers and partners (we charge $200 per hour , so you may easily compete with us).

• You may try to develop your very own application(s) template and sell it via TeamDesk Application Library using "contact author" option. You may offer your setup consulting services to your application customers at your rate.

• You or your company may develop the application(s) in dbFLEX, promote and sell it to the customers at your price. dbFLEX shares the core platform with TeamDesk and provides re-branding capabilities (changing logos, copyright strings, support and billing links etc). Each partner will have own third-level domain in a form of subdomain.dbflex.net. You'll provide first level support to your customers. We'll provide second level support to your developers and charge you a low platform usage fee.

Reminders on time
