FileMaker Pro®   Database Applications: 

Databases are used to keep track of anything, from contacts, to inventory (see below for list of database ideas).  Integrated database applications make your employees and your company efficient, thus saving time and money.  Multi-user or stand-alone database applications, created with FileMaker Pro®, are developed and customized to exact specifications as dictated by the customer's business needs.  Customized applications can always be modified and updated as required.

Databases can be accessed by multiple end-users in a client-server configuration.  A server version of FileMaker Pro® can be installed for more-efficient management and implementation of the database application.

FileMaker Pro® also has the ability to connect to your company's existing database systems (Oracle, SQL Server, etc.) through ODBC.  Custom front-end applications allow easy lookup/manipulation of your data.

Features:

  • User-friendly Interface
     (Buttons, icons, fill-in forms, automation, and more.)

  • Multi-component, Fully-integrated Systems
    (Contact Manager, Purchase Order Systems, Office Documents, and more!)

  • Customized to the Business Needs of the Customer
     (Most off-the-shelf applications are very limited in how far they can be
    customized.  FileMaker Pro "solutions" are custom-built from scratch to suit
    the needs of the organization.)

  • Networked/Multi-user
     (With FileMaker Server in the background, up to 254 users can simultaneously
         access the entire database system.)

  • Stand-alone Database applications

  • ODBC connectivity to corporate database systems 

  • Import/Export Data
     (Information from FileMaker Pro can be exported to a variety of formats, such as CSV, DBF, tab-delimited, etc. for use in other applications.)
