Rapid prototype development using FileMaker

A prototype helps you visualize the ultimate solution. Our company, and in fact many software development companies, advocate the use of FileMaker as a rapid prototype development platform, saving valuable time and money. A prototype helps users understand how the solution might operate and gives them the opportunity to provide feedback which can then be quickly incorporated in the final solution.  

The growing organizational complexity and the need to support ever-changing business processes and software platforms require a fast, flexible solution for mid- and small sized projects. Not only can FileMaker solutions be deployed in weeks or days rather than months, but also they offer additional benefits:

• Cross platform operation and evaluation
• Simultaneous multi-user testing
• Low development & software costs
• Support for large datasets
• Easy to publish on the web
• Supports local and internet-based client-server solutions
• Access from mobile devices

Since FileMaker includes ODBC and associated links to other native databases, especially SQL-based systems, it can be used to quickly evaluate a solution for later implementation in the native system.

FileMaker allows very fast prototype development such as the example shown above. This helps you not only visualize the proposed solution but test the operation as well. Few software programs offer this rapid develpoemnt capability.
