Filemaker and Web databases synchronization
Filemaker is a very popular database platform, especially for Mac users. It's good for an internal setup and does not require a lot of training for basic use. As needs evolve and you grow, you may want to publish the internal Filemaker database and share it with your consumers or even your remote staff. You have spent years working with the Filemaker database and everything you know and have resides in it. Should you just dump it and start over with a new Web database because your business needs have changed? No.
We can help you migrate your Filemaker database to the Web without starting all over. You can keep working and expanding your Filemaker database, and we'll develop intelligent routines that will selectively publish your Filemaker data to a Web database on the internet. Of course, the data you want to keep private in Filemaker will not be published. This gives you full control over what your users see. The possibilities are infinite.
We have clients who have their entire backend processing in Filemaker and yet leverage everything that Internet has to offer. We can setup fast, "two-way" synchronization routines that will publish data from Filemaker to a Web database and update the Filemaker database with the latest from the Web database. Smart, isnt' it?
Let's consider a scenario:
You sell books. All the information about books is in a Filemaker database - names, authors, ISBN, publishers etc. As your business grows, you want to sell books online or create a subscription based e-book-club. Traditionally, this would call for a new Web database, a new Web application and migrating over to the new Web database in entirety. However, with our Filemaker and Web databases synchronization service, you can retain your Filemaker database, keep working on it and yet accomplish everything. We'll setup a Web database, create your Web application and write custom sync routines that will keep both the Filemaker and the Web databases updated. If you sold three books online, then your "Filemaker" inventory will also be decremented by three. If you added new books to your collection in Filemaker, your online users will see the new titles. Can it get any better than this?
