To be productive, workgroups need to connect with corporate systems.

Customers praise data connectivity, expanded platforms Data connectivity and expanded platform support are among the new FileMaker Pro 5.5 features praised by customers who evaluated beta software. I am particularly impressed with the integration with Microsoft Office. With version 5.5, you can now build databases quickly and use them in a corporate setting. It takes advantage of the colour and fluid motion of the Aqua interface, and the stability and reliability of Mac OS X. FileMaker Pro 5.5 for Mac OS X also allows PDF files to be stored in container fields, making it easy to manage or archive important documents in a FileMaker solution. Certified applications require less administration and downtime, and can help workgroups maximise their Windows 2000 investment by taking advantage of Windows 2000 technologies and features.
