Steamboat Data Systems, Inc.

Database Development Services in Filemaker Pro


Steamboat Data Systems designs, creates, modifies and markets database systems for business, government and law enforcement. We work almost exclusively in Filemaker Pro, and here's why:

7,000 Companies
11,000 People
42,000 Contact Records
4,000 Inventory items in warehouses all over the world

How on earth to keep track of all this stuff without an IT Department? For a pharmaceutical supply brokerage in Westchester County, NY, Steamboat Data and Filemaker Pro 8 was the answer. A handful of people can run a worldwide enterprise with their only IT expense being a GoToMyPC account and us to keep things current. How many systems can make that claim?

That's where we come in. We write the systems that enable you to take control of your data and turn it into information. Our solutions include local networks, WAN applications and even live wireless connections from computers in cars to databases back on the server.



Ease of Use - Combine Filemaker power with our interface design expertise and you've got a solution that will work not only for you but with you to get the job done.

Great Interface Design - The details are always important! We specialize in user interfaces that are clean and predictable, yet elegant and simple to use for everyone - from the manager or supervisor identifying trends and performance, to the most computer-phobic employee in the place. We have overcome the natural resistance to change that is native to almost all work environments again and again, and we can do it for you as well.


We are multi-year members of the Filemaker Solutions Alliance, the international organization of Filemaker developers and consultants. We are also Developer members of the Servoy Alliance Network, the association for Servoy database developers. Servoy is the new power player in distributed databases.

You know your business - we know data systems. We can work with you to determine the best data fit for your business and, in collaboration with you and your team, make it a reality in less time than you would expect.

Now located in Saratoga County in the Capital District of New York, we can bring custom, specialized Filemaker computing power to your enterprise no matter where you are. We routinely do remote development as far away as Alaska. We can do it for you as well.

If you're a business in the Capital region of New York particularly, and you need some help keeping track of what's going on - give us a call.

Some of the project areas we've worked:
