MSN Media, Inc.

We focus our sheer love of FileMaker Pro into designing and implementing database solutions that stand the test of time.

Most of the work we do is on site with the client. This empowers our clients to be directly involved in all aspects of development. This involvement makes for more focused solutions, and the client is trained in both the use and development of their system in the process. Over time, this has proven to be both better and less expensive, as the client can maintain many aspects of the database rather than calling us for every little thing.

We strive for simplicity and efficiency at every stage of development, and specialize in bringing simplicity to both the user interface and the data model.

Matt Navarre founded MSN Media as a FileMaker database development company in 1987. Matt is a regular speaker at DevCon, co-hosts two FileMaker podcasts, and runs the Portland Oregon FMPug developer group. This community leadership allows us to work with many local developers to provide solutions large and small.

Bio for Matt Navarre

Matt began his database career in 1983, and has worked as an in-house relational database developer, an independent database consultant, and a commercial software developer. One thing in common with all three of these positions is FileMaker Pro, the award winning database. Matt has founded two companies. In 1989 it was MSN Media, a consulting company, and in 1999, he co-founded Pre1 Software. At Pre1, he grew an in-house database solution into a successful commercial product for a vertical market: Weekly newspapers and monthly magazines. Pre1 is one of only 30 FileMaker Business Alliance Platinum members in the world, and received a FileMaker Excellence Award in 2005. Matt also develops solutions through MSN Media, Inc. for a variety of markets, including health care, family law, museums, and auto parts. Matt is an avid podcast fan and co-hosts a FileMaker Podcast (available on iTunes), and runs two Portland FileMaker developer groups. He continually strives for better data models, interface designs, and bullet-proof business logic.
