WORLDSYNC, INC. RELEASES FIRST UPDATE TO fmDATAGUARD
– Now Compatible With the New FileMaker 9, fmDataGuard Provides Technology to Meet Regulatory Compliance, Instant Data Rollback and Quick Recovery from Crash or Corruption –
About FileMaker, Inc. FileMaker is the leader in easy-to-use database software. Millions of people, from individuals to some of the world's largest companies, rely on FileMaker software to manage, analyze and share vital information. The company’s products are the FileMaker Pro line – versatile database software for teams and organizations, for Windows, Mac and the Web – and Bento, the personal database for Mac, iPhone and iPod touch. FileMaker, Inc. is a subsidiary of Apple. Copyright © 2009 FileMaker, Inc. All rights reserved. FileMaker and Bento are trademarks of FileMaker, Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.

"fmDataGuard provides companion capabilities to both of
these exciting new versions of FileMaker software," said
Jason Erickson, president and CEO of WorldSync, Inc.
"fmDataGuard practically meets the technological
regulatory requirements on its own, while simultaneously making it
easier to recover from a crash or from errors caused by users.
We're extremely thrilled with the advances FileMaker has
made in FileMaker Pro 9 and FileMaker Server 9, and the potential
they provide for fmDataGuard's future."
fmDataGuard provides complete audit trail capture, with no
scripting, layout modifications, or custom development required.
fmDataGuard captures all Add, Change and Delete actions to a
separate table, keeping a field-level change history. The resultant
fmDataGuard log meets the audit log requirements for regulatory
mandates such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, Gramm-Leach-Bliley, and
European Union Privacy (Basel II) and Payment Card Industry Data
Security Standards (PCI DSS).
In addition, fmDataGuard makes it easy to recover from a crash or
corruption, and to revert undesired data modifications. fmDataGuard
uses the logged changes to empower administrators to roll back data
in a single button click. Similarly, administrators can roll
forward using log data to reconcile the last known good backup with
the current state of the database since that backup, hence updating
the backup, all in one button click. If needed, data
recovery is provided for both the field-level and the record-level
modifications. fmDataGuard also supports logging of custom events,
such as user login and logout, report generation and much more.
Setup of fmDataGuard is an easy three-step process.
"Clearly we continue to support fmDataGuard in solutions
built on FMP8.5 and FMS8," continued Erickson.
"That said, the seamless connectivity to external
SQL-based data sources and the FileMaker PHP API support are truly
exciting developments, not just for our future, but for the whole
FileMaker development community. This should be one super exciting
DevCon."
