FileMaker > Why FileMaker?
“FileMaker is leading the Rapid Application
Development Platform market”
FileMaker is a cross-platform database application from FileMaker Inc. - a subsidiary of Apple Computer, Inc. - known for its combination of power and ease of use. It is also noted for the integration of the database engine with its GUI-based interface, which allows users to modify the database by dragging new elements into the layouts/screens/forms that provide the user interface. This results in a "quasi-object" development environment of a kind that is still largely unique in the "industrial strength" database world. (Source: wikipedia.org)
FileMaker is a key strategic partner for BH&A. We have standardised our database development using the FileMaker family of products and are members at the highest level of the FileMaker Business Alliance (FBA). The FBA is a worldwide community of database developers, sponsored by FileMaker Inc, and committed to foster and grow new applications.
FileMaker is now available for the MacOS X and Microsoft Windows operating systems, and can be networked simultaneously to a mixed Windows and Macintosh user base. FileMaker is also scalable, being offered in desktop, server, web-delivery and mobile configurations.
