FileMaker enables rapid development and modifications, a quality that serves as both a blessing and a potential pitfall. In the early stages of a project, this ability to progress swiftly is invaluable. However, as solutions mature and persist over the years, the need for diligent maintenance and adaptation to evolving business workflows becomes critical. Without this, solutions can accumulate technical debt, becoming cumbersome and less adaptable to new requirements.

 

Managing code effectively involves continuous evaluation and simplification, ensuring it can rapidly adapt to changing business needs. We'll explore how leveraging new features in FileMaker can simplify the codebase, reduce technical debt, and preserve the original investment in the solution.
