The announcement coincides with the 30th anniversary of FileMaker software. FileMaker was the brainchild of a bootstrapped startup founded in Massachusetts by four entrepreneurs intent on creating easy-to-use database software.

"FileMaker 14 is the culmination of 30 years of helping customers exploit the latest platforms – from Mac and Windows then through iOS devices and mobile web browsers today – meeting users' rising expectations for data accessibility, simplicity and mobility," said Ryan Rosenberg, vice president of marketing and services for FileMaker, Inc. "With FileMaker 14, creating compelling cross-platform solutions and designing for the times is simpler than ever – even if you've never developed any solution before."

New features in FileMaker 14

FileMaker 14 provides a complete experience for developers, enabling them to unleash their creativity and ingenuity.

FileMaker at 30

FileMaker has shipped more than 20 million copies of FileMaker Platform products, and the FileMaker Go for iPad and iPhone app just surpassed 1.5 million downloads from the App Store. FileMaker software is available in 15 languages and is used worldwide and in virtually every private and public market sector.

FileMaker is backed by a global ecosystem that includes the FileMaker Community, a free online resource with more than 50,000 members; the FileMaker Business Alliance, with more than 1,200 firms, many whose primary business is to offer FileMaker products and consulting services; and the Made for FileMaker site, offering hundreds of third-party commercial products built for the FileMaker software.

Rave reviews from developers and customers

"As a FileMaker trainer, I know a great number of people who want to deploy solutions to iPhones, iPads  and the web. Thanks to the Chrome browser support, FileMaker really delivered the goods with version 14. FileMaker WebDirect delivers FileMaker solutions to all these platforms, plus it's fast and really simple to deploy." 
- Richard Carlton, president, Richard Carlton Consulting, a FileMaker Business Alliance Platinum member

"WebDirect is freaking awesome now. FileMaker 14 makes our lives easier and gives us the tools we need to dazzle our customers."  
- Joe Scarpetta, CEO and co-owner of The Scarpetta Group, a FileMaker Business Alliance Platinum member

"FileMaker links every part of our business here at Metropolis Studios. A great example of this is the way FileMaker Pro 14 allows us to interact with our audio/visual equipment across the studio. Additionally, the way FileMaker can now be used across all major platforms will be incredibly useful, as we don't have control over the devices and operating systems our customers use. FileMaker essentially allows us to have more time to concentrate on our clients and that is invaluable."  
- Oli Sussat, Director of Marketing, Communications and Technology, Metropolis Studios (Europe's largest independently owned recording complex based in London)

"Some of my favorite features in FileMaker 14 may seem like small improvements, but they save time on things I do so frequently that the time really adds up. Those features include the ability to insert placeholder text into empty fields and add icons and buttons using either the built-in icons in FileMaker 14 or adding my own. These help my solutions act and feel more like the kinds of applications our employees are used to working with online." 
- Michael Perley, CFO, Prodigy Promotions

"With auto-complete, favorites, shortcuts and more, the Script Workspace gives us quicker, smoother development. Developing in FileMaker isn't my main job, so it's important that I can evolve our solution quickly. With FileMaker 14, I can make fast changes on the fly and get on with my main job." 
- Carson Lind, vice president and production engineer, Annex Medical, Inc.
