| Plato: the Best Research Management Tool |
PLATO is not the philosopher himself, but perhaps his digital incarnation? It's a thinking tool disguised a database management system. Or the other way around, if you like. It's an information manager and research assistant, and it's designed for writers, academic and government researchers, and anyone else who needs to manage and cross reference a lot of information, such as
- intellectual works-in-progress
- boatloads of contract requirements
- libraries or other complex inventories
- research programs
- survey results
Naturally, it can manage more modest stores of information too, such as butterfly collections, home video collections, and recipes.
