SQL Integration

Industry-Leading Integration

After presenting at several Claris FileMaker Developer Conferences over the past few years, our team members have become recognized as SQL server integration experts on the Claris FileMaker platform.

Case Studies

Wondering how your business will benefit from SQL integration on the Claris FileMaker platform? Here are a few hypothetical case studies to give you a more concrete understanding of the possibilities.

Streamlining Sales

A large entertainment client uses an executive mobile dashboard built with the Claris FileMaker platform to track licensee information, development pipeline, sales, and expenses. Information is compiled from several different data sources, including Oracle and SAP. Despite using a variety of databases, executives can create charts and graphs, view summary reports, and analyze data in one place with an integrated Claris FileMaker solution. Because information is simultaneously available on mobile devices and computers, key decision makers can access the data they need wherever they are.

Simplified Reporting

A local company sells photography equipment through an online web store. Transaction data from the store is captured and stored in an SQL database. But without a programmer, management has a difficult time building reports from the SQL database. A read-only link from Claris FileMaker to the SQL database empowers employees to create their own reports.

Optimized Workflows

A human resources department houses data in an SQL data source but needs to link processes with the finance department. Using the External SQL Data Source feature, the two departments seamlessly share data to streamline their operations. By making data accessible to team members who need it, Claris FileMaker facilitates reporting and solutions that meet the unique needs of intertwined departments while giving the organization an edge over the competition.

Fully Customized Claris FileMaker Solutions

If your organization uses data from a variety of data sources, Skeleton Key knows how to integrate those seemingly divergent systems to streamline inefficiencies and make the complex simple again. Whether you’re already working on Claris FileMaker or you need a solution built from the ground up, we leverage your options to build tools optimized for your data sources.  We can integrate SQL sources into Claris FileMaker so that data is presented side by side with native tables.
