Why Filemaker Pro?

Ok so by now you are saying to yourself “ I know what FileMaker is and who they are but why should I choose their database software over the competition?”. Well, simply put, there is no better return on investment and overall cost of ownership then a FileMaker Pro based solution.

With a single family of products you can deploy a solution from 5 to 250 users around your office or around the world. When it comes to custom database development FileMaker Pro is the clear leader in the price versus performance area.

Most of the competition requires three distinct types of programs; the database engine (ie: SQL or equivalent), an interface builder (ie: Visual Basic or equivalent), and a report writer (ie: Crystal Reports or equivalent) just to accomplish what can be done in FileMaker Pro alone. Those three types of programs require three different skill sets, require three different support organizations to call when there is a problem, and in many cases will cost you three times as much for an equivalent solution created in FileMaker Pro.

Don’t wait any longer to experience firsthand the ease of use, ease of support, and powerful capabilites that a FileMaker based solution can bring to your company. Contact us today and let Data By Design bring these benefits to your organization. You’ll be glad you did!
