Software That Facilitates Business Agility and Adaptability

Has your business’s software tools ever slowed your team down? Have you been disappointed by the static capabilities of off-the-shelf software in the past? For organizations that prioritize business agility and adaptability, these are common challenges that quickly interfere with broader goals and objectives. Fortunately, there’s a Workplace Innovation Platform built with your struggles in mind—FileMaker.

If these struggles sound familiar, you’ve likely never heard of Claris FileMaker before. In this post, we’ll explore why a Claris FileMaker solution is the logical next step for businesses that need to remain agile in today’s ever-changing business environment.

Understanding Business Agility and Adaptability

In the business environment, agility is the ability of an organization to rapidly identify, respond to, and evolve with internal and external changes to achieve broader objectives. Markets, consumer preferences, and supply chains are changing faster in today’s world than ever before. If your software tools don’t expedite adaptability, it’s only a matter of time before your business gets left behind.

Starting With Spreadsheets

Many of the growth-oriented businesses we work with started out by entering, tracking, and managing data with an ever-increasing framework of spreadsheets. But when you’re focused on growing your business, it’s easy to lose track of which spreadsheet is most up to date, what data has been shared with which users, and how you’re securing that data. Most importantly, inefficient data management is a distraction that draws you away from doing the work you most enjoy.

For businesses that prioritize adaptability, spreadsheets simply don’t have the flexibility to align with your long-term strategic plan. While you don’t necessarily need something more complex, you do need a platform that offers a centralized data resource with the customization features to evolve with your team’s workflows. That’s precisely where the Claris FileMaker platform excels.

Simplifying Complex Data

The problem with relying on spreadsheets to manage ever-growing amounts of data is that they have to become increasingly complex to achieve that goal. In contrast, the Claris FileMaker platform allows you to track, analyze, and store larger amounts of data while grounding that data in a centralized, easy-to-use software solution.

If your team members already know how to use Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel to manage spreadsheets, they can just as quickly learn how to use a customized Claris FileMaker solution to accomplish the same tasks more efficiently. Plus, all of your data sources are updated in real time to ensure that everyone in your organization always has access to the most relevant, up-to-date information.
