What NOT to say to your client during development 

Using special notes table to foster communication with your client

"As the person responsible for getting a new Rotary database up and running, I really appreciated the knowledge, support and guidance I received from FM Associates as we watched our database develop. It's exactly what we wanted; now members can go online and find people that meet their social or professional needs. Also, the officers can manage the club finances. Best of all, the project was done on time, on budget, and works as promised. We are all extremely pleased."

 -Stephen Allen, Board Member, Niles Rotary Club of Fremont


FM Associates is highly responsive, and fulfilled my request in a very short period of time. I'm impressed with their ability. 

 -Dan Fowler, General Manager, Aaron Paving

 

Welcome to FM Associates database development service, home to preeminent FileMaker* consultants and developers in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. FM Associates focuses on custom database design as well as upgrading FileMaker databases from version 6 or lower to FileMaker Pro 9.
The potential benefits of a well-designed FileMaker custom database are enormous.

1. See vital company information in ways you might not have seen  before. As a result, you can make better business decisions.

2. Prevent repetitious entry of identical data

3. Eliminate data entry errors by drawing from known-good data.

4. Modify your database indefinitely to suit your changing needs.

5. Build a very powerful database - inexpensively. FileMaker is arguably the most powerful rapid development program on the market today. Its control tool set is very extensive, yet the programming is relatively straightforward. Consequently, powerful database applications are quickly and inexpensively developed.

6. Run your company ultra efficiently - potentially eliminating a clerical person.

Oddly, not everyone has discovered these secrets. Some companies adapt off-the-shelf solutions to meet their needs. This is fine if the solution truly fits their company. Too often, it doesn't. There are some companies who use programs like Access, MySQL, Oracle or SAP that either don?t have the feature set to meet your company needs, or are overkill in both time and money.

And there are companies that still pass paper forms back and forth in order to conduct their business. (If you're one of those companies, be prepared for a giant leap in efficiency and productivity!)

FM Associates is structured to help you solve your problem, whether the solution is a custom database, and off-the-shelf database, or no database at all.

If we agree that a custom database design is the most appropriate solution for you, FM Associates will create one to your specifications.   Our applications save you time, effort and money. If you're looking for clear-thinking business efficiency experts, you have come to the right place! We work on-site or online.

Please contact us for more information about our database development service and how a  custom database design can help your company become more productive.
