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.
Quality management systems (QMS) are a natural area in many businesses where the structured data management of a well designed database application fits right in.
FileMaker Pro can be an excellent platform for developing iOS applications and a recent project for one of our clients is a good example of this capability.
One of the great things about developing solutions using FileMaker Pro is that there are always numerous ways to solve a problem. I wanted to use this post to examine a solution we designed for a large managed care organization. Several years ago, we built a customized sponsorship management application for the client that is used to manage the entire process of sponsoring 3rd party events, symposiums, conferences, including review of applications, funding distribution, accounting, and document management.
NVL Laboratories provides complete Industrial Hygiene services including testing and environmental safety services for their clients. This includes testing for a variety of hazardous substances like lead and asbestos. They pride themselves in providing a complete solution for their customer’s environmental and safety needs and find FileMaker to be an ideal tool to help make this happen.
With some careful planning and a bit of experience, a simple FileMaker solution can be built to fix a simple problem within 30 minutes.
