To achieve this, Filemaker sports a sophisticated user environment so that development is both accessible and expeditious.

They work when workflows (collaborative or single) need to be storyboarded, prototyped, designed, tested and deployed. They are suitable for contact management, libraries and warehousing for project management, client relations, (inventory) tracking, event planning, research, tourismâ€¦ FileMaker solutions work well almost anywhere that data needs to be input, edited, retrieved, displayed, shared. Such applications are flexible and robust solutions for home, groups, large and small businesses, in administration, commerce, the arts, and accounting. â€œPlatform-independentâ€ might be betterâ€¦ FileMaker apps run on macOS, iOS, the web etc and Windows. Itâ€™s aimed at anyone who wants to build their own robust, cross-platform applications. The product/platform is increasingly being called Claris FileMaker (â€œAdvancedâ€ has gone, although the filenameâ€™s extension is still â€œ.fmp12â€). And there are significant new features as well. Yes, its core engine remains a highly-sophisticated RDBMS. But FileMaker 19 should be seen as Clarisâ€™s first open platform for software development. Has it been a while since you thought about FileMaker? Do you still think of it as database software (albeit extremely powerful)? If you havenâ€™t kept up with the extent to which FileMakerâ€™s market penetration and user base have grown – to more than a million, then do take a look at this pageâ€¦ you may be in for some surprises. Older Mac users will remember and love Claris as the company which brought us ClarisWorks and on which the current Apple Mail application was based. Not long after that review, FileMaker Inc changed its name (back) to the venerable Claris. Filemaker, the product which began life as a database, had already (version 17) been â€œrecastâ€ as a platform for application development. MyMac last reviewed FileMaker Pro (version 18) a year ago.
