Retirement Planning App Built Using the FileMaker Platform

About a year ago we started exploring what kind of solutions were possible and practical with FileMaker’s iOS SDK. We wanted to know how we could use it to deploy mobile apps for a few of our customers who were interested in leveraging Apple’s Mobile Device Management (MDM) services to transparently distribute their custom apps.

In order to truly test the ice, we established specific requirements.

This last requirement actually reigned in the scope of the app so we could focus on its creation and not the underlining job it performed.

After rooting around the app marketplace and doing some research on the web, we settled on a retirement calculator of sorts. A financial app was appealing because there’s no shortage of examples of data models and calculations. We knew we could just pick a few of these models and build the app around them without having to be too much of an expert on any particular one or even the field in general.

Admittedly our gift has more to do with money than good cheer — more Scrooge than Magi, if you will. Nevertheless, it should give you a few hours of financial fortune telling. It may not be very accurate fortune telling, but what fortune teller is? You’re in for fun or horror depending on what it sees in its rather foggy crystal ball.

Happy Holidays!

This app is free and available only for iPad.
