Which is right for your business: a custom web app, FileMaker WebDirect, or a hybrid solution?
The right approach depends on who needs access, what they must do, and whether FileMaker already manages the underlying data. Portage Bay can build a standalone browser application, optimize a FileMaker solution for WebDirect, or create a custom web interface connected to FileMaker. We compare security, usability, integration, budget, and long-term support before recommending a path.
