COVER LETTER
After many years in the entertainment industry having developed
hundreds of database files using FileMaker Pro to manage not only
the production of my shows (casting scheduling payments of actors
and services) but the distribution of the finished product and the
running of day to day operations at the beginning of this year
I formed my consulting firm Data Management Associates.
DMA is a full-service consulting firm specializing in providing
custom data management and POS solutions for a wide range of
business needs: invoicing accounts payable/receivable payroll
management decision support marketing sales customer trend analysis
and job tracking. I also provide on-site project support and training
and have a good deal of experience massaging data from other apps
for entry into FileMaker. I provide complete desktop business graphics
support using PageMaker and PhotoShop and direct mail management from
artwork and copy to brochures mail list selection and list management.
Most recent job: a complete job tracking and management information
solution for Disney Televentures a joint Cable TV venture of Disney
and 4 baby Bells.
Other clients are as diverse as graphic artists printing salesmen
general contractors home associations a management consulting firm
and with the participation of Apple itself a complete order taking
tracking and fulfillment app for the duplication company which duped
and shipped Apple's own video productions to it's employees.
Most of these solutions are large full featured and script driven and
designed to provide a wide range of MIS reports. All have an aesthetic-
ally pleasing human interface the equal of most commercial applications.
After nearly ten years of developing FileMaker systems I have the kind
of in-depth knowledge of the program which enables me to develop quickly
building on my experience with past files and avoiding the „dead end¾
paths common to beginning developers. This is something I now do and
use every day. Iåm also expert at finding data in books periodicals
manuals or other publications OCRing it and massaging it in Word-
Perfect to output comma delimited text files for import into a
FileMaker DB.
With regard to experience gained in my „first career¾ in video produc-
tion and distribution in addition to producing the shows I planned
mailings (in the strategic sense) purchased appropriate lists and
designed and supervised the production of all mailing pieces. I can
evaluate a market purchase the appropriate lists write copy design
and track test mailings and work with printers and lettershops. Iåve
supervised the duplication/ fulfillment facilityås work on our account
as well as provided customer support and problem resolution.
In addition Iåm an experienced Mac trouble shooter having purchased
and set up countless systems for myself and others and have experience
with networks as well.
In terms of desktop publishing I¼ve done most of my own broadcast
graphics on computer and am proficient in Photoshop and expert in
PageMaker where with Photoshop Iåve been designing my catalogs and
advertising for over ten years. In additon to FileMaker Pro Photoshop
and PageMaker I also know Word WordPerfect MacWrite Excel
TypeStyler OmiPage Professional and SuperPaint.
