"FileMaker with PORTAL is so easy to manage—we automate virtually everything. It does automated backups, and just runs, and runs, and runs. I'd estimate that it takes no more than 30 minutes a month to manage... not even...Of all of the systems we use, FileMaker with PORTAL is THE most rock solid one. I don't lose a bit of sleep over it...."
”FileMaker® Pro’s flexibility. Our experience. Your control.
You are in charge of IT. You are the person behind the scenes—the wizard behind the curtain—and you need the right systems for the job.
Open, customizable
“Open” means that we deliver the databases to you with all the passwords. Ownership, responsibility, power. You won’t be changing fundamental functionality, but you will be enhancing it. There are no secrets.
“Custom” and “customizable” are not the same. “Custom” software is one-of-a-kind, built once by a person who is inventing the wheel just for you. Custom software can be difficult to maintain and upgrade, and it is usually expensive. Chances are good that the person writing it won’t actually understand completely the work you do, and over time, this software may not serve you well.
When we say inRESONANCE solutions are “customizable,” we mean we deliver a time-tested, functional core database that is easy to maintain. It has been developed over 15 years, working with data from hundreds of schools and educational organizations. This core, out-of-the-box, is powerful and complete—but allows for further addition of fields, layouts and reports to match your specific needs. Some customizations occur during installation, to reflect the unique characteristics and conventions of your organization. Other customizations will emerge over time, as you learn the power of your iR solution and imagine what else you might do with it.
FileMaker® Pro is the most popular, cross-platform, workgroup database platform in the world. FileMaker is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Apple, Inc., used by more than 10,000 developers and over 100,000 organizations around the world.
