Unfortunately though, when something does go wrong or you need urgent advice, your choices are very limited in Mildura. Lodge Street Systems changes all that.

No longer will you have to pay exorbitant fees just to fix a minor bug or a huge service fee just to book your Mac in. Lodge Street Systems will offer free advice over the phone and if we need to physically access your Mac, you won’t need a bank loan to pay for our service. At last … Mildura has an affordable alternative for any Mac OSX related issues.

Filemaker Pro 12

Filemaker Pro 12 is a database suite that is wholly owned by Apple and has evolved with the needs of businesses since it was a Mac-only solution. Filemaker currently offers appications running on Mac, Windows and iOS.

70 of the Fortune 100 use the application and aside from large enterprise adoption, Filemaker has been a consumer friendly option. Filemaker Pro sales include 40-45 per cent of small businesses.

While Filemaker has historically been associated with Macintosh, it is actually quite popular for Windows users. In fact, it's the number two best selling Windows database suite.

Filemaker is evolving with the times and diversifying its product offerings. Clients like Orca Books and Lee Medical have used Filemaker as a starting point for creating very specific solutions for their businesses. Lee Medical has medical staff access Filemaker remotely from their iPads to get updated patient information. The solution is 100 per cent up to date and completely secure. If they lose the iPad, they don't lose the data which resides on the server.

This sort of real time updating and access to information is extremely helpful in a time critical environment. Track an infection, update the database and everyone in the field gets an update. Filemaker is able to provide these solutions because it features web publishing technology and a web server

The web server is a powerful tool. It allows for remote updates over the air and it is secure. You can place a server in a secure location and communication with the server is encrypted.

Filemaker Pro 12 has focused on making databases more productive and robust as well as ways to make programming the application less time consuming saving the client a lot of expense comapred to other solutions.

Another key feature of Filemaker's products is their focus on creating attractively designed solutions. People want their desktop and mobile solutions to look beautiful and Filemaker Pro is the ideal tool.

Charting is also one of the areas where Filemaker excels. FilemakerPro added new features that allow on-the-fly charting and ad-hoc charting with lots of popular styles.

Filemaker database solutions are ideal for a huge variety of applications including those clients who deploy iPads and iPhones in the field. For those that use other types of mobile devices, they can always use a web version to interface with the data.
