Application scenarios for gFM-Business
The CRM and merchandise management system gFM-Business is based on the database management system FileMaker 13, which is available for Windows, Mac OS X and with FileMaker Go for the Apple iPad. In most cases, the database should be shared with several users in the network. Due to different local requirements, the databases can be shared in the network in different ways.
In this document we present two possible scenarios of how gFM-Business ERP can be used in companies with several users in the network or externally via the Internet:
- Database sharing in the local network. This scenario describes the sharing of databases in the local network with FileMaker Pro or FileMaker Server and access from outside via VPN tunnel.
- Database release on the Internet. This scenario describes the sharing of databases on the Internet using a web server and FileMaker Server 13 or gFM Business Cloud.
