TOKYO—FileMaker Mobile, which allows instant database publishing on i-mode smart phones, was introduced in Japan.
FileMaker includes a Mobile Groupware solution, which includes a scheduler, meeting room reservation planner, bulletin board, contact lists, bookmarks and the Mobile Sales Tool solution. “Our leadership in workgroup databases includes anticipating the needs of increasingly mobile workers,” said Dominique Goupil, FileMaker’s president. “Mobile workgroups demand access to their business info everywhere, and in Japan, FileMaker Mobile for i-mode makes this simple and affordable.”
Users of the mobile solution must first install FileMaker Pro 5.5 version 2 or 5.5 version 2 Unlimited database software. The solution will be available only in Japan beginning in March and is priced at US$665.
