FileMaker 14 provides a ton of new features

Since its announcement nearly one month ago, FileMaker 14 has provided several businesses and individuals the relief of point-and-click level simplicity and allowing productivity and appeal to soar for those using desktops, iOS devices and mobile browsers alike.

FileMaker has some great benefits in all of its versions:

  • Requires no programming skills.
  • Can be created and active within hours.
  • Multi-platform usage.
  • Safe information sharing.
  • Data integration from outside sources.
  • Built-in reporting tools that provide aesthetic appeal.

The new 14 platform features FileMaker WebDirect, which has a redesigned toolbar that adjusts to the screen size of any web browsers on desktops or tablets and delivers a 25 percent boost in processing time. The new version comes with a wide collection of design tools that function efficiently on both mobile and desktop interfaces. It also hosts a new Launch Center for improved access to databases with its app-like interface and the updated FileMaker Server hastens the recovery process for unreliable or lost network connectivity.
