The FileMaker platform, as we know it today, started out on the Apple Macintosh way back in 1985 as a simple database program that made use of the Macintosh’s new graphical user interface (GUI). Since those humble beginnings, the platform has gone from strength to strength, and has seen continued development and support. Where other platforms have faded into history, the FileMaker platform has continued to be widely used
In the modern iteration, the FileMaker Platform is a powerful low-code, rapid development environment, based around a relational database. Its primary goal is to allow businesses and other organisations to create custom apps much faster and with less cost than traditional software development methods.
FileMaker supports desktop computers, both Windows and macOS with FileMaker Pro, iPad and iOS (iPhone) with FileMaker Go, and the web, with FileMaker WebDirect. This allows one FileMaker custom app to seamlessly work across all platforms, with live data accessible almost anywhere.
Efficient business systems rely on integrating systems, removing the need for time consuming and error prone data entry between systems. The FileMaker platform enables rich integrations with most modern business software and cloud services. Custom business apps built in FileMaker can be integrated with the software you already have, allowing invoices to be created in your accounting software, new email addresses to be added to your email marking system, and much more.
With Claris actively supporting and developing the FileMaker platform, you can be assured that investment in developing custom apps for your business in the FileMaker platform is going to be long lived.
