FileMaker Pro Offers Fast Web Publishing
When the Northern Virginia Association of Realtors (NVAR) needed an easy way to provide up-to-date information to its 7,000 members, they turned to FileMaker Pro. FileMaker Pro's instant Web Publishing feature lets NVAR easily keep its members informed via their dynamic Web site.
Business Challenge
NVAR adds its latest announcements and articles to a FileMaker Pro database, which updates the organization's Web page (using FileMaker Pro's easy-to-use Web publishing features) so that members can instantly view the most recent information. Before the organization used the FileMaker Pro solution, it had to write the announcements and articles using Microsoft Word, save them to disk, send the disk to a Web hosting company, and wait for the host to update the site-a process that could take weeks. With the FileMaker Pro solution, NVAR updates its site in minutes.Successful Solution
'We chose FileMaker Pro because it provided us with an environment that allowed our developer to build a truly dynamic Web site at a price that would not have been possible with competing solutions,' says Jim Harrison, president of NVAR. 'It only took us only three months to roll out the entire project.' To build the application, NVAR worked with NetStreet Networks, a FileMaker Pro developer.Customer Benefits
When experts say that the Web provides up-to-date information, this certainly applies to NVAR's Web site, thanks to FileMaker Pro and its extensive, easy to use, Web publishing features.Contact information
