FileMaker est multiplateforme et permet le développement rapide de bases de données partagées puissantes. FileMaker est une excellente option lorsque les logiciels « prêts à l'emploi » ne répondent pas entièrement aux besoins de votre entreprise. Le développement est relativement facile, cependant la formation et/ou l'embauche d'un développeur professionnel est une bonne idée.

Filemaker offers an easy platform for managing, organizing, and storing data. Exporting information from Filemaker into Excel is quick and easy. Sorting data within Filemaker is also easy.

That as the product has grown, its ability to extend and communicate with other tools makes it a truly viable solution and leader in the Workplace Innovation Sphere. There is a vast developer community and the system overall has features that rival database solution 10x more expensive. A key thing about the tool is that solution built by either the end user or a seasoned developer and deployed to a client location, can be maintained by the client. The tool allows a client or end user to realize a significantly lower cost of ownership, unlike other database systems that can require expensive technically specialized IT, staff. You can use this platform to start handling small troubling areas of any business operation and then scale and add to the scope of the system over time for a very reasonable expense. I have seen some people used this platform as a means to mine data from much large data systems like Oracle for very low cost, compared to doing the work in Oracle.
