Photographers’ Database Praised by BJP

FBA Member FotoSF has developed a business management solution for photographers that has been reviewed by the British Journal of Photography and which explains the advantages of FileMaker over MS Access. "FileMaker has always been far more user-friendly than the Microsoft rival, Access. But like Access, it can be used to build run-time applications. … Unlike Access it is dual platform and so FileMaker Pro and FotoSF can be run on either Mac or PC systems. The data file can be shared on a mixed network without the need for expert systems consultants."
The British Journal of Photography, May09
