Third-party Press Release
Productive Computing, Inc. Releases The FM Books Connector Plug-in For Use With QuickBooks
"Our vision was to build a plug-in that would simplify
the complicated task of FileMaker Pro QuickBooks integration. To
that end, we developed a plug-in that easily allows a developer to
map QuickBooks field data with FileMaker Pro field data using a few
script steps and without the need to construct XML statements.
We believe this new and easy method of communicating with
QuickBooks will revolutionize how developers integrate FileMaker
Pro databases. Because it is so easy to use, it will reduce the
time for development and cost to the end user which adds value to
the entire FileMaker Pro platform."
- CEO Marc Larochelle
