They've developed or maintain over a dozen databases for a variety of State of California offices. Their business clients range from small law offices to the Sacramento Kings, of the NBA, to publicly traded corporations, including Apple Computer. One of their earliest projects was a registration program for a local parks and recreation district, which led to a project with NASA Ames Research Center to track their in-house safety training program. The NASA database was HD Industries' first web project. Employees at Ames can use a web browser to check class availability and to sign up for classes.
Managers can use the web to complete a survey that determines the classes their staff have to take.
They can then see charts that show how well their employees are doing in completing their required classes. HD Industries has developed a web test site, called WineUpdate , that attempts to demonstrate the various cool things that one can do with 4D and the web. A work in progress, WineUpdate provides a summary of current news about wine on the web. Like others in the 4D community, HD Industries has enjoyed a growth spurt in the past year. Three years ago they hired their first new employee, Matthew Sainson, who has worked on many database projects.
