One of the strenghts of FileMaker Solutions is their ability to share data with other applications. The exchange of data allows FileMaker solutions to coordinate functionality with enterprise-level systems. Additionally, by integrating data from various sources, FileMaker Pro solutions can coordinate dashboards and reports that present a unified view of otherwise disconnected systems. FileMaker data can be accessed via technologies such as Open Database Connectivity (ODBC), Java Database Connectivity (JDBC), and Extensible Markup Language (XML) or many of the components from which the web is constructed. What does this mean? FileMaker can talk to your accounting and CRM or ERP systems to create once source of the truth and make it available anywhere and at anytime.

FileMaker Server 15 technology allows you to create your own cloud hosted on your dedicated server. Coupled with FileMaker WebDirect, your solution can be accessed via a web browser on your mobile device, desktop or lap top at the time and place of your choosing.

Coming soon to Australia is FileMaker Cloud. FileMaker Cloud will be available through the Amazon Web Services Marketplace and provides reliable cloud access to custom apps, negating the need for a local server if you choose. You can have the simplicity, performance, and reliability you’ll come to expect from the FileMaker Platform without having to spend time deploying and maintaining an on-site server.
