Hi, I'm Don Clark of FM Database Consulting and FileMaker Pro Gurus.com.
This is my first hot tip, and today it's going to be a little bit different. It's not going
to be a hot tip, actually, it's going to be great news about FileMaker and FileMaker Solutions.
Last Summer FileMaker hired the Forrester Consulting Group, and they did this great
study that showed how well FileMaker returns money on investment and how fast you can recover
what you spend on FileMaker and all of the equipment that goes with it.
So that's some really good news for FileMaker Developers out there because you get to use
this information everywhere you go to do business, and tell people how great FileMaker is.
So what are the real numbers behind this study?
How about this? A two year Return on Investment of 289%. Now that's just incredible.
But that's not the only thing, there's also tis. They recovered all the money they spent
in three months. Now this was a solution that had FileMaker Pro on iPad, it had FileMaker
on the back end with aMac Mini, and a network and all that type of stuff, and everything
they bought they recovered in three months.
How did they do it? They did by improving communications, by reducing errors, by improving
processes, all the things you tell your clients FileMaker does so wonderfully well.
There's more though. They also found out that FileMaker Solutions were fastest to implement
after they considered all of the other alternatives.
They also found out it was the cheapest of all alternative when it came down to implementation
time.
It was the fastest, it was the cheapest, it had a great return on investment, it also
paid itself off in three months. It reduced errors, it improved communications, and it
improved processes.
That's three things you can talk to your clients about. And you can take that and put money
in the bank.
So now get out there, talk to your big clients, talk to your enterprises, talk to all of your
businesses, and let them know that FileMaker is a great solution and you can help the magic
happen.
