The phrase "database" can be enough to scare any IT professional. This happens because there can be a misconception on what goes into creating and running a successful database, like needing to have dedicated servers to handle mountains of data or complicated software to manage all the changes. While this may have been something that traditional systems needed, it is an outdated idea of what a database can be.
A recent article from Macworld looked at the current database marketplace and gave some reasons why businesses should not be concerned. The first thing to know is that, databases are really nothing more than just lists of information. This is something that can be run with an Excel spreadsheet.
However, the article goes on to talk about several other solutions that are now on the market that can easily take a database solution to the next level. One of the main focuses of the piece is FileMaker. The software allows for more complex databases that can easily be deployed with pre-configured solutions that can be modified to meet a business's specific needs.
"Some applications, such as FileMaker Pro, have an iOS version (they call it FileMaker Go) so you can remotely access your data on a mobile device," the article reads. "Like many other database programs, you can also securely publish your data to the web so it can be accessed from any computer."
With the help of a FileMaker database development service, any company will be able to deploy a database without any fear.
