Good database software?

Monday, August 29th, 2011 at 12:04 am

Hey all,

I work as the Marketing Director for a construction company and am in need to a good database software that would help me organize and store out project information. Currently, each projects has its own Excel spreadsheet with lines for each detail : Name, Owner, Size, Costs, Architect, etc. This is fine for simply storing, but retrieving the data quickly isn’t really an option.

I’m looking for a database that allows for lots of details and is easy to search. Would also like to store pictures and documents (construction meeting minutes) for each project somewhere in the database, or at least have some sort of link to find them easily.

I just want all the information in one place that is easily searchable for when I’m on a deadline. FileMakerPro has been suggested, but I want to make sure before we spend a lot of money on the program that it’s the best one.

Please help!
