FileMaker and IT Software
Where does FileMaker Pro fit?
FileMaker software is highly customizable and allows solutions to be rapidly created and modified in real-time. Its robust, relational database architecture offers greater scalability and yields higher productivity compared to lower end desktop applications such as Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Access. FileMaker Pro allows you to create two-way live connections to Microsoft® SQL Server, Oracle and MySQL data sources.
Development and Deployment of Solutions
FileMaker Pro helps your IT organisation bridge the gap between your long-term strategic projects and the need for tactical workgroup solutions. Quickly build and deploy solutions in less time with the customisable and intuitive interface of FileMaker Pro. The cross-platform architecture allows both Windows and Mac OS users to design, share and modify the same databases.

Security
FileMaker accounts and privilege sets can be customised down to exact users or specific database fields. Manage your FileMaker solutions using existing external network authentication via Active Directory or Open Directory. Encrypt data transferred between hosted databases and desktop clients using SSL.
Network Configuration
