FileMaker Unveils New FileMaker Go for iPhone and FileMaker Go for iPad
Available now on the App Store, FileMaker Go delivers live access to
hosted FileMaker Pro databases, and lets users copy desktop databases to
iPhone or iPad
SANTA CLARA, Calif. – July 20, 2010 – FileMaker, Inc. today announced
FileMaker Go for iPhone (http://www.filemaker.com/fm_go_iphone_pr) and
FileMaker Go for iPad,(http://www.filemaker.com/fm_go_ipad_pr) the
highly anticipated new Apps now available from the iTunes App Store
which let users work remotely with FileMaker Pro
(http://www.filemaker.com/products/filemaker-pro/?nav=products-pro)
databases on iPhone or iPad. With FileMaker Go – available as two
separate apps for iPhone or iPad – users can easily view, edit and
search for information in FileMaker databases on their iPhone or iPad.
Ideal for mobile teams, FileMaker Go provides access to databases
created with FileMaker Pro and hosted on FileMaker Server or FileMaker
Pro. FileMaker Go can access databases residing on a Mac or PC using a
local wireless network or over the Internet via Wi-Fi or 3G. All changes
are instantly updated in the hosted file.
FileMaker Go users can also copy databases between their desktop or
laptop computers and FileMaker Go via File Sharing in iTunes, perfect
for single user databases. Databases may also be downloaded by email,
popular file sharing sites, or the web.
“Imagine being able to check inventory levels, update the status of a
project or add a new customer contact and share it with your remote
sales team – just a few of the many workgroup tasks made easy with
FileMaker Go for iPhone or iPad,” said Ryan Rosenberg, vice president of
marketing and services for FileMaker, Inc. “We are genuinely excited
about the ways FileMaker Go caters to mobile users who need remote
interaction with their data.”
FileMaker Go makes it easy to add, modify, or delete data; find, sort
and navigate through records; open new windows; and switch between
layouts. Many popular FileMaker Pro features are supported on FileMaker
Go, including Tab controls, Quick Find, Web Viewers, External SQL Data
Sources, containers, portals and even most scripts.
The new Apps work in both portrait and landscape views, automatically
switching as necessary. FileMaker Go also allows users to search, modify
and sort records using touch gestures – simply pinch, swipe, rotate and
zoom to manage data. Existing FileMaker Pro layouts look amazing on the
large iPad display screen – no modification is necessary for most solutions.
Praise from independent FileMaker developers
“We expect immediate adoption of FileMaker Go by outside sales teams,
housing inspectors, warehouse inventory managers, and event planners
among others,” said Richard Carlton, president, Richard Carlton
Consulting, Inc. (http://www.rcconsulting.com/index.html)
“It’s stunning how well FileMaker Go on the iPad and iPhone ‘just
works!’ ” said Scott Love, Chief Operating Officer, Soliant Consulting
