Welcome to FileMaker 17
FileMaker 17 has arrived with a full suite of new tools and capabilities for developers and users alike. As users and developers dive into the features, exploring everything the version has to offer, they may have another question on their mind: “What does this mean for my hosting environment and server configuration?”
A new release is an excellent time to review your hosting needs and determine if they’re being met. It’s also a great time to consider if your server configuration is evolving with the pace of your business and can scale with you.
Leveraging New FileMaker 17 Features and Tools
This release includes a variety of new functions to enhance your database storage, security, and cloud capabilities.
With this newly available functionality in the platform, we have updated Soliant.cloud services to support the newest version of FileMaker Server available and immediately take advantage of the platform’s new capabilities.
FileMaker 17 Hosting Configured Uniquely for Your Needs
As we’ve worked with FileMaker for decades, we’re well aware of the common challenges, needs, and opportunities of hosting for the platform’s implementations. Our premium hosting service, Soliant.cloud addresses concerns and leverages unique FileMaker capabilities through our custom configuration for the platform.
As a Platinum FileMaker Partner, we received an inside look at FileMaker 17 months before its release and started immediately tailoring Soliant.cloud to leverage the release’s new features and tools. Now’s a great time to transition to consultative hosting services configured specifically for your implementation.
