GM's Corner

It feels like only yesterday we successfully launched Bento and already it’s time for Bento 2.

The new version of the wildly popular personal database from FileMaker now allows you to link directly to Apple Mail and incorporates spreadsheet capabilities and functionalities for a better user experience.

We have also added new search capabilities to the FileMaker Knowledge Base which help you get the most relevant answers to your product questions even faster.

FileMaker’s annual developer conference, Devcon, was recently held in Arizona, USA and proved to be quite fruitful for two of our local FileMaker Business Alliance (FBA) partners—Digital Fusion and Particle Systems. In the FileMaker Excellence Awards Digital Fusion won the ‘Global Solution of the Year’ award and Particle Systems were named ‘FileMaker Excellence Award for Business Driver of the Year Asia Pacific’.

In other news, we are currently running an offer which discounts a new license of FileMaker Pro, FileMaker Pro Advanced, FileMaker Server and FileMaker Server Advanced by 25%, when you renew your FileMaker Maintenance. This Maintenance Renewal offer expires on 23rd December so call your FileMaker Sales Representative today to make sure you don’t miss out.
