Users who work with the FileMaker application developer might require a way to publish their scripts as XML Web Services. In doing so, they would be able to perform an easy integration of their work with other systems, programming languages or even hardware. Web Services Manager will provide a straightforward solution to such issues, by allowing any Simple Object Access Protocol compatible software to initiate FileMaker scripts.

Being deployed as two main FileMaker format files and one PHP format file, the utility can be instantaneously enabled by opening the files in the FileMaker package. Furthermore, apart from its main supported application, Web Services Manager can also be opened with software that are compatible with the aforementioned SOAP protocol (Flash, .NET Framework, PHP, Java, etc).

The main advantage of Web Services Manager over similar software solutions is that it allows users to integrate multiple software packages with FileMaker package, which would otherwise be incompatible.

The utility is targeted at maintaining tasks for B2B integration (creating customer realtime database access), medical groups (access to patients database), advertising agencies (easily integrate external data in ad production process) or enterprise departments (schedule FileMaker databases and share the data on an open-format solution).

Web Services Manager will trigger FileMaker scripts directly, by avoiding secondary layers such as PHP or API, therefore allowing users to return a practically unlimited number of records. The machine and server upon which the application is running will determine the amount of retrievable data, through the available memory resources.
