Over the years, Portage Bay has developed a number of solutions of a type generally called ‘multi-tenant’. As I was discussing a possible multi-tenant project with a prospective client recently, it occurred to me that it would make an interesting blog post.
Having had time to explore Claris Connect ourselves, we agree that it is living up to its promises and is a delight to work with. Portage Bay Solutions has nearly thirty years of experience creating FileMaker and 4th Dimension solutions and we’ve found Claris Connect to be an attractive, intuitive, and helpful option for many of our solutions. Because of our experience with these expanded capabilities, and our desire to keep learning and help others learn about Connect, we have launched a Claris Connect Meetup and we invite you to join.
Portage Bay is looking to hire a new developer to join our team of FileMaker and 4th Dimension developers. We’re a group of experienced developers, some certified, some not, that work together on a variety of projects for clients in different industries, education, and government.
FileMaker gets a lot of attention in our blog, but we are doing ongoing development and support on 4th Dimension applications for about 10 clients currently, keeping at least one of us at Portage Bay busy doing 4D development at any given time.
We’ve recently been working on some upgrades to the 4th Dimension lab management app we developed and continue to support at Ceradyne / 3M Seattle, and it seemed like an opportune time to write a short case study of this application.
This spring and summer are shaping up to be pretty interesting for FileMaker and 4th Dimension developers from an education and skills development perspective. I have three training seminars and developers conferences on the schedule.
