Through the power of FileMaker Pro, Charles designed and implemented, in literally a day, a simple but effective database that allowed announcers access to the information they needed in a clear and concise format. The data entry and cateloging of the information was intuitive, to aid those who volunteered to support the station.  After some customizing of the software to address the peculiarities of a Radio station operations, Charles made the software available for free to anyone to use in the disaster area.

The InfoCenter Foundation, Inc was created by Charles and a few of theose dedicated IT professionals, who believe in his vision to provide the program free to anyone in need.  To make it a world wide application it must be multi lingual and be able to link all the communication centers on a wide area network that automatically synchronizes the information for world wide access.  InfoCenter provides that solution.
