FileMaker Update: Inching Closer to the Enterprise

An Intellyx Brain Candy Update

We last spoke with the folks at FileMaker almost a year and a half ago. Since that time, the company has doubled-down on an important audience: people just getting started and looking to quickly and easily develop applications on their own. The company has released a library of starter applications and templates to help clients realize a quick time-to-value.

At the same time, the company recognizes that it has continued and increasing relevance in the enterprise market. To support this, in part, it has expanded support for iOS sensors and continues to develop its ability to connect to external data sources, execute complex calculations, and enable elaborate data transformations — all-important enterprise capabilities.

As an Apple subsidiary, it will be the combination of the company’s stock-in-trade ease-of-use and slick user experience, mixed with its deep technical capabilities that will enable the company to make serious headway into the enterprise space. But it remains to be seen if they will invest in meaningful efforts to do so.
