FileMaker Pro is not a SQL database, but a proprietary application that covers all three areas of the DBMS at the same time: Development, Server and Client applications. This concept has the advantages of fast prototyping and the possibility to cut down programming time.

Disadvantages of FileMaker products are the lack of scalability, no standard data types and tedious updates. The dependence on FileMaker software, which is typically released in 12 to 18 month cycles, is a further disadvantage. The result of this may be that newer FileMaker versions are not always compatible with older ones.

Our experience in FileMaker allows us to move your existing FileMaker Pro applications into a future-proof and more efficient Servoy technology. You can then use your new application in a decentralized manner over the Intranet or Internet.

XpertMind helps you migrate your solution on the basis of a powerful SQL database and Servoy to make it extendable and future-proof. This combines the advantages of the FileMaker Pro environment with the advantages of a SQL database structure. The disadvantages will will disappear.

As a result you will get the following advantages: standardized SQL database; full Internet/Intranet ability; zero deployment; combining data from different databases into one application; multiple language support (i18n); rights management on a user- and group level; and unlimited functionality through Java technology and built-in versioning.
