FileMaker - What is it?

It is the #1-selling easy-to-use database that helps you easily manage people, projects, assets, and more. It gives you the tools you need to manage, customize, and share your information on a network or over the web with Windows and/or Mac users. FileMaker has matured into a very powerful and sophisticated tool for developing database solutions while still maintaining a rapid development cycle that is much shorter than other comparable database programs.

It was originally developed as a personal database application for the Macintosh computer and has since moved tremendously into the Windows market. In an effort to build upon FileMaker’s reputation for user friendliness, FileMaker Pro (now its latest version 10) has been purposely redesigned to give you streamlined navigation, better workflow and timesaving shortcuts. Now managing your information is simpler and more straightforward than ever before.

FileMaker Pro also offers the ability to create a single solution that can be accessed from multiple platforms such as Windows XP, Mac OSX, Palm OS, Pocket PC, and the web. In addition it can serve FileMaker files to both Windows and Mac clients concurrently from Server or Pro running on either platform. It offers support for up to 250 simultaneous clients and provides convenient features like online backup.

With its built-in Web server and out-of-the-box business templates, FileMaker has received high praise for being the ideal application for beginning Web site administrators who want to quickly (literally with one click) add Web database publishing capabilities to their Web site or company intranet.
