Panorama 5.5 for Windows is a blockbuster software overhaul from top to bottom. Every area of the program has been dramatically improved. We started with a new restyled modern look and a slicker user interface. For workgroups we added easy multi-user networking and connectivity using the Panorama Enterprise Server. Then we rolled in over a hundred new features to mega-enhanced flexibility and power for customizing, tweaking and programming your databases to your exact specifications. Whether you are a power user or never go past the data sheet, version 5.5 is a new generation of Panorama that will make your database work faster, more productive and aesthetic. To make the transition painless, Panorama 5.5 is 100% fully compatible with your existing Panorama 4.0 databases. If you are also using Macintosh systems you can easily transfer databases back and forth and even share databases on a mixed platform network with our Panorama Enterprise Server.
