With the FileMaker 14 platform, it is easy for users to have total control over how their solutions look and run on mobile devices such as the iPad and iPhone. Here are a few ways running mobile data solutions is easier with FileMaker 14:

• Enabled touch keyboards: Users can add a script to control whether or not the keyboard appears in the solution while it is being worked on. This allows for people to tap into and scroll through an entire field without the keyboard getting in the way. Now users will have a cleaner space to work with in FileMaker, easing any past frustration.
• Set screen orientation: A script in FileMaker enables all users to create a script designed specifically to lock the orientation of the layout in order to build layouts for either portrait or landscape views. Depending on the size and shape of the screen, this gives people greater control over their entire FileMaker solution experience.
• Video and audio playback: This feature plays videos in a container field as well as a full screen. Users can also interact with their solution's layouts while the video is playing, allowing them to work on multiple projects at once. New scripts also automate the starting and stopping point of a video or audio recording, which is ideal for training scenarios when you only want to view certain chapters or sections at a single time.

Marketing your tech startup is one of the keys to its long-term success. However, as your initial capital will likely be tied up in other areas of the business, many think it will be hard to launch an effective campaign with the money they have on hand. However, this does not have to be the case, as long as you make smart decisions.

Here are a few ways you can market your tech startup without breaking the bank:

• Add value through email marketing: Email marketing is not the same as simply spamming a person's inbox. In fact, when done strategically, email marketing can be incredibly effective at expanding a client or customer base. Create a well-planned schedule so people will know when to expect the emails and look forward to updates on the company.
• Build your strategic partnerships: It can be easy for startups to get lost in the crowd and go unnoticed, as hundreds of thousands are formed in the United States each year. But by reaching out to those well-known companies in the tech world, you can maximize the exposure of your startup and market it much more effectively.
• Engage with social media followers: Social media can be used for a lot more than advertising, as it can help your tech company reach people it might not have otherwise. Make an effort to share useful information through your company's social media accounts and engage with the customers who are responsive to what you are putting out.

FileMaker 14 is a cross-platform solution that can be used to create, develop, manage and share information with different groups of people. Whether those people are using iPhones, iPads odesktop computers does not matter, as FileMaker 14 is able to run on any number of platforms. This is a solution that makes it simple for people to store and organize their business data.

As with any technological effort, there are regular upgrades to FileMaker made with the goal of an easier experience for users. The latest version, FileMaker 14, was released earlier in 2015. Here are some of the biggest improvements to the platform:

• Desktop-style web apps: FileMaker 14 has a complete redesign of FileMaker WebDirect, introducing built-in support for mobile tablets, allowing apps to run seamlessly. FileMaker's toolbar has also been changed so it will adapt automatically to the size of a user's browser, making the best use of the available screen real estate. 
• Faster run times: FileMaker 14 allows solutions to run up to 25 percent faster than past versions. The newest solution also has double the number of supported concurrent connections, from 50 to 100.

FileMaker is a great way to effectively store and access all of the information you need. Here are a few common ways people lose time chasing down their important data:

• Scattered information: If your crucial information is stored away in separate systems or multiple spreadsheets, it can be a hassle to track down what you actually need in a timely way. This is especially true if the data is on paper only and has not been digitized yet.
• Slow manual process: Gathering data manually is a process that is slow and is often prone to information errors. Gathering and sharing information this way is inefficient and can end up costing your business clients and money in the long run.
• Rigid technology: One of the main issues people face when dealing with business data is technology that can not be tailored to their own specific needs. This often means having to use prepackaged apps that don't perform exactly as you want them to and often cannot support both desktops and mobile technology.

The answer to all of these problems is to create your own data solution using FileMaker. This solution will do whatever it is you need of it, without being too difficult to use or time consuming. With a custom solution, you will also be saving money, as you will only be paying for exactly what you will be using on a regular basis.

Here are a few key tips that will help you successfully launch your tech startup:

• Focus on the product first: The product your company provides will be what makes the money, so it needs to be the most important thing on your list every day. In order for your company to become a real player in the tech world, you will need to offer something that has not been seen before. This means not debuting anything to the public until the product has been carefully tested and improved time and again.
• Don't spread yourself too thin: Of course you will want to have a hand in everything that is going on, however, that can eventually lead to disaster. If you try and take on all projects yourself, it will just end with you burning out fairly quickly. While the number of people employed at your company will likely be relatively small in the beginning, you will need to trust the people around you to help take care of the work that needs to be done.
• Keep everything simple: Not spending too much money when you first launch will be essential, as you will need to build up some capital before you even think of expanding or taking on new tasks. This means a simple office and a bare bones staff that can handle any tasks without becoming too overwhelmed over time. Once you are up and running you can think of growing out the company.
