TRUDON (Johannesburg, South Africa)
"CatBase replaced our old directory system which was becoming expensive, difficult to maintain and the GUI interface was extremely unfriendly. We have been using CatBase for over two years and the interface is user friendly, variety of exports to external software both MacOS and Windows and the filters within CatBase is very fast and effective to validate the data exports. We are now testing internal scripts which would facilitate new directories and cost savings. Next year we intend deploying the Enterprise version. We currently are producing 24 Telephone Directories with CatBase.." – Charles Seejarim, Print Manager

Our page layouts still require a fair amount of manual manipulation, but the sku inclusion and product classification/order are flawless." "While we only scratch the surface of using all of CatBase's capabilities, my recommendation is very high. One must consider CatBase's superb functionality when shopping for a database publishing tool. The Customer Service is excellent! You don't need to write and test code for months; style sheets get the job done." - Julie Hagemann, Project Manager, WMA
YACHTING PAGES (BRISTOL, UK)
"We have been using CatBase to produce 3 quite complicated directories and have found its flexibility, functionality and output really quite excellent. I don’t have any prior experience of data publishing software to compare it to, but in my personal 7 years of using it and the company's 15+ years of using it, we have never looked to replace CatBase as our software of choice as we have never found it lacking or anything other than excellent. I am sure that we only scratch the surface of CatBase's capabilities but it clearly is a superb toolkit with a brilliant support team. I’m grateful that Pat always takes time to make sure we get any hitches ironed out with immediate effect, allowing us year after year to produce our product to the absolute best of our combined abilities." - Lisa Ferron, Production Manager
