Since 1985 askSam Systems has been developing some of the worlds most popular text-database and publishing tools. askSam is a different kind of database -- it's a whole new way to manage information. askSam requires no pre-defined structure or field lengths. Add notes and descriptions to your databases. Turn e-mail, texts, and Internet information into searchable databases. askSam is easy to use. You can search without learning a query language. You can create reports without programming. askSam was designed for users, not for programmers. askSam searches are fast, powerful, and easy. Type in any word or phrase, and askSam finds it... anywhere in your database. No complicated query language. No need to remember what field contains what information.
"Whether your information is simple, structured, or random, askSam provides an easy way to stash it and an easy way to find it again. Best of all, since it behaves like a word processor, you won't spend weeks learning to use it."

If you're still using Word for Windows to keep your address book and your e-mail client as a PIM, then you should be using askSam. Behaving more like a word processor than a database, this atypical document-centric freeform database lets you store and search both structured and unstructured data. Its ability to perform full-text searching of documents makes it ideal for legal, medical or research knowledge workers.
"I've used a lot of different tools for searching, but I've yet to find anything that approaches the depth, variety, strength, and sophistication of the search tools that askSam provides."
