Press Release 841 Published by

California based .com Solutions Inc. has released FmPro Migrator Platinum Edition 8.48



The Problem: Visual FoxPro has been discontinued by Microsoft for more than 10 years - and you need to upgrade to a supported custom app development platform.

The Solution: FmPro Migrator Platinum Edition 8.48 has been enhanced to perform automated Visual FoxPro to FileMaker 16 conversions.

FileMaker (an Apple subsidiary) is widely regarded as the leader in low code custom app development - supporting Windows, macOS, IOS and HTML5 deployment platforms. Converting legacy Microsoft Visual FoxPro applications to FileMaker 16 offers many advantages including:

* Cross platform compatibility - FileMaker solutions run directly on macOS, Windows and IOS devices. WebDirect serves FileMaker custom apps via HTML5 to all mobile and desktop platforms running a supported web browser. Visual FoxPro can only run on the Microsoft Windows operating system.

* Easier database sharing - FileMaker database files can be shared using FileMaker Server or FileMaker Cloud with macOS, Windows and IOS devices. WebDirect serves FileMaker database files via HTML5 to any device or platform using any supported web browser. Visual FoxPro can never run directly on this many platforms without major rewriting.

* Greatly enhanced file capacity - FileMaker supports a 7TB filesize compared with the anemic 2GB Visual FoxPro DBF filesize limit. If a DBF file ever exceeds the 2GB file size limit, it will immediately become corrupted.

* FileMaker Cloud Hosting - FileMaker Cloud is a version of FileMaker Server running on the AWS cloud infrastructure. FileMaker Cloud provides secure, reliable access to your custom apps using FileMaker Pro, FileMaker Go, and FileMaker WebDirect - all without the administrative hassle.

* Easier Development - Upgrading to FileMaker Pro 16 also offers developers the opportunity to take advantage of the latest design, development and security features included with FileMaker Pro Advanced 16 and FileMaker Server 16 and FileMaker Cloud 16 - including WebDirect capacity enhancements.

Pricing and Availability:
FmPro Migrator Developer Edition (8.48) is priced at $600 (USD) per developer, and is available immediately. A functional demo version of FmPro Migrator may be downloaded from .com Solutions online.
