The goal for this integration was to streamline contact management for a network of medical clinics by synchronizing patient data between FileMaker and the Exchange environment. To gain deeper insights into the technical aspects of this project, we interviewed Joe Ranne, Senior Application Developer with Portage Bay Solutions, who spearheaded the integration effort.
Claris FileMaker Cloud is a cloud-hosted version of the popular FileMaker Pro platform, offering a powerful, streamlined environment for hosting your FileMaker applications without the headaches of managing hardware, software updates, and backups. As you consider moving your solution to FileMaker Cloud (vs on-premise hosting or using a third-party hosting service), there are several factors to keep in mind – both advantages and potential limitations.
Our client needed a scalable web application to manage student-entered data submissions. We engineered a solution utilizing Angular, Java, and SQL, and integrated it with their FileMaker solution.
When I meet people and tell them I build custom apps in FileMaker, the number of people who recall the platform from years and years ago with a nostalgic smile is impressive. Perhaps the loyalty FileMaker users have toward the platform is an important reason Claris FileMaker has thrived for so long.
Last week Claris announced the first public availability of the new Claris Platform Bundle. Do you deal with scattered information and inaccurate data? Gain greater visibility across your entire business with the cloud-based Claris Platform which integrates the full capabilities of FileMaker Pro with the new Claris Studio environment, Claris Connect, and more.
Not only is our job to stay up to date on the latest technology, but also to understand our client’s businesses so we can help ensure they are meeting their goals.
Last week, Claris announced two exciting new initiatives, the first a new Software as a Service (SaaS) platform called Claris Studio, and the second a new program for helping Claris users get the most out of their solutions.
Every month, on the third Wednesday at 12pm Pacific, we host an online Meetup focused on Claris Connect. One aspect of the Meetup features a “Connector of the Month”, and Brad Stanford recently shared an introduction to the QuickBooks connector. We hope you’ll enjoy watching the video and seeing how you might begin to incorporate QuickBooks with your solution.
With the recent highly publicized attacks on Colonial Pipeline and JBS, we’ve had questions from some of our clients about protecting FileMaker data from ransomware attacks. While we are always careful to make it clear that we are not security professionals, we also try to do our best to answer our client’s questions, and so we have done some self-education recently as well as group discussions during our weekly developer meetings.
