FileMaker WebDirect extends the FileMaker Platform to qualified Android operating systems, as well.
FileMaker is an amazing cross-platform, networkable database design engine. It’s ease of use combined with powerful development tools and rapid application development features allow us to make custom database solutions in a fraction of the time – and at a fraction of the cost – it takes to do so in PHP/MySQL, Ruby on Rails, .net, or other languages.
FileMaker works on Macs, PC’s, Linux (high speed servers), iPhones, and iPads, and allows them all to hook up simultaneously to a shared database. It also offers powerful website integration tools using WebDirect, the FileMaker PHP API, XML and XLST, json, and other custom web publishing tools such web viewers, http push, javascript integration, and more.
FileMaker shines when it becomes time to make custom reports – the heart and soul of small and medium businesses.

And it stretches those IT dollars to the max.
