About askSam Systems

Since 1985 askSam Systems has been helping individuals and organizations manage their information. Our popular text-database and Web publishing tools provide a flexible, affordable, and easy-to-use alternative to traditional structured databases. askSam makes managing large amounts of information fast and easy for everyone.

The basic philosophy of askSam is FREEDOM ... freedom to work the way you want to, not the way a software application dictates. In 1983, the creator of askSam, Dr. Mack McKinney, searched for a better way to handle information. Traditional databases were highly structured and forced you to shoe-horn your information into a predefined structure. Mack's free-form database, askSam, provided a fluid, flexible, and fast way to organize information.

Today, askSam continues to set the standard in managing the combination of free-form and structured information in databases. Also with the askSam Web Publisher, askSam offers any easy way to turn information into searchable on-line databases. The askSam products continue to reflect Mack's basic philosophy -- freedom for you to organize your information, regardless of the source, according to your own vision. More on Freedom..
