About FileMaker 11

FileMaker Pro 11 includes many new features for end users and developers to enhance reporting and sharing data from databases.  For a quick overview of FileMaker 11, click here .  To learn more about new features specific to FileMaker 10, simply click on the appropriate item in the list below to see what FileMaker 10 has to offer:

• FileMaker Charts  - Now your data can take on a whole new dimension with FileMaker Charts in FileMaker Pro 11. Create eye-catching reports in five different styles including vertical bar, horizontal bar, area, line and pie charts.

• Spreadsheet Style Reports  - Make reports in a spreadsheet-like fashion and get even more out of your data. Group and summarize your information on the fly directly in Table View to create professional looking reports. Easily modify your reports by adding, sorting, or hiding fields and records

• Quick Find  - In FileMaker Pro 11 you can search for information just as you would in a web browser. Enter a word or phrase in the search box and FileMaker Pro will search all fields in your layout - right in Browse mode.

• Snapshot Link  - Sometimes you need a report where a set of records stays the same but the details change. Let's say you want to track the results of sales leads received yesterday. Create a Snapshot Link file to save a specific set of records at a point in time. This also preserves the same layout, view, and sort order. Any changes you make to the file will be updated in the database. Plus email the Snapshot Link to anyone who has FileMaker Pro 11 for easy collaboration.

Of course, FileMaker 11 continues to offer breakthrough easy-to-use tools so FileMaker users and workgroups easily can connect to the world of company and Web data residing in external SQL data sources: MySQL, Oracle SQL and Microsoft SQL Server.

N-Sight, as part of the pre-release developer testing group, was working with FileMaker 11 months before it was available to the public and, as such, is ready to implement all the new features of FileMaker 11 into your business' or organization's solution.  We will be pleased to discuss how we can assist you in reaching your goals, and encourage you to contact us by calling us toll-free at 1.877.720.8115 or locally at 404.847.9595, clicking here to send us an e-mail, or clicking here to go to our web form.

Our Experience

Our developers have been working with FileMaker for nearly fifteen years. During that time, we have used FileMaker to address a variety of challenges, including inventory control, point-of-sale, customer relationship management, image management, transaction processing, accounting, business management, and various types of field data collection.

We have developed solutions for use at large businesses and organizations such as Lehman Brothers, Harvard University, the State of Georgia and Crédit Lyonnais, as well as for a large number of small and medium sized businesses. Additionally, we have developed FileMaker-based solutions that are being commercially resold, either in conjunction with FileMaker licenses or as stand-alone runtime applications.

But most importantly, we are also members of the FileMaker Business Alliance, which puts us among a small group of firms that are on the cutting edge of FileMaker development.  In addition, as members of the Citrix Business Alliance, we have the ability to deploy your FileMaker solution efficiently and effectively across geographically dispersed workgroups using Citrix Presentation Server.

Finally, we support all versions of FileMaker and have active development work for deployment on FileMaker 11, FileMaker 10, FileMaker 9, FileMaker 8, FileMaker 7, FileMaker 6, FileMaker 5.5 and FileMaker 5.  We also specialize in conversions of older FileMaker solutions to FileMaker 11/10/9/8.5/8.

Upgrades/Conversions to FileMaker 11, 10 & 9

You may have heard that converting FileMaker 6 and older solutions to newer versions of FileMaker is nothing like upgrading older FileMaker solutions.  Due to the dramatic changes in the functionality and file format of FileMaker, conversions from versions 6 and earlier result in a solution that, at best, only partially works the way it did before.

Fortunately, our developers have extensive experience in upgrading and converting older FileMaker solutions to the latest versions of FileMaker.  Our proven methodologies enable you to experience all of the new features of FileMaker 11/10/9/8, including enhanced functionality, improved security and better resource management.  Call us at 404.847.9585 to discuss your FileMaker upgrade with one of our FileMaker specialists today!
