FileMaker Business Solutions for the Web
Instant Web Publishing
The most inexpensive way to Web enable a FileMaker solution is to use Instant Web Publishing. This built-in feature of FileMaker allows Businesses to quickly turn a Desktop solution into a multi-user solution accessible from your Web Browser. Instant Web Publishing is not intended for complex Business Database Solutions due to the limitations of its functionality but it is the perfect choice to extend the capability of an Information System that would not benefit from full Web Based development.
Common uses of Instant Web Publishing include Custom Surveys, Time Card Data Entry, Configurable Sales Dashboard, etc.
Requirements: Macintosh or Windows Operating System. FileMaker Pro*, FileMaker Advanced*, or FileMaker Server Advanced.
Custom Web Publishing
Custom Web Publishing makes it possible to provide Businesses with the ability to integrate a FileMaker database with existing Web Technologies that may already be at the core of an Information System Architecture. Data-driven websites can be developed using either open source PHP or XSLT.
Fully functional E-Commerce websites can be developed using any one of these technologies or, if required, an existing AJAX developed Website can be integrated with your FileMaker database.
Requirements: FileMaker Server or FileMaker Server Advanced
