Ffenics (Welsh for Phoenix and pronounced the same) is a combined software development tool and relational database management system. The first release of Ffenics was in 2006, with web deployment being added in 2008.

Ffenics

Originally developed by Database City Limited, the development team was led by Peter Tabord (ex DataEase) and provided a multi user capability to develop applications using both its own native data structures as well as having an ability to treat tables in other databases (eg Oracle and SQL Server) as if they were native Ffenics tables – ie enabling the creation of applications with multiple heterogeneous data sources.

In 2009 Database Software Limited acquired the business of Database City Limited, and continued the development of the application. In May 2012, Edward Paice (ex SAP, Infor) joined Database Software as Managing Director and launched version 1.6 of Ffenics which included a selection of pre-built Framework Applications that act as building blocks, known as FrAPPS. These included CRM, Expense Management and Asset Management.
