VizionDB is INM's new version of their flagship V12 Database. The "Desktop" version that is currently being announced is a Director Xtra, but their use of the "Desktop" label suggests that other (non-desktop?) versions may be arriving at some point in the future.

Here's INM's description:

Vizion DB comes with entirely new features and enhanced performance. It's a database management tool designed for both the creative individual sand the skilled programmer:
- Accomplish the fastest design-to-delivery cycle possible with the combination of industry-strength database technology and easy-to-use productivity tools.
- Create user interfaces that are visually appealing, intuitive, flexible and powerful.

INM VizionDB is the essential tool for multimedia developers, graphic designers and programmers of all levels looking to develop projects on CD/DVD-ROM, kiosks or installed to the end-user's hard drive

* Electronic catalogs (e-catalogs)
