Survey Systems

While NIH has many large, enterprise systems, there is a strong need for smaller, simpler solutions for the day-to-day tasks that need to be done, either for an individual or a small group. FileMaker Pro is the perfect solution for these cases.

Systems can be designed quickly, reducing the overall cost of development and of on-going maintenance. But simplicity does not preclude power – FileMaker Pro is a fully-functional relational database, with a number of high-level capabilities that can meet any need.

We have been developing FileMaker Pro systems for NIH clients for over 6 years, including both administrative and scientific applications. Applications are developed for the more traditional case where users run the FileMaker Pro workstation software on their own computers and interact directly with the system layouts. FileMaker can also be used as the back-end to a web application where data needs to be collected or shared with a larger group of people. Many of our web applications are a mix of these two options – with a subset of information or features available to a large population through a website while the managers of the system use the FileMaker Pro application to do the more involved data management.

We also offer hosting of the FileMaker applications we develop. Our servers reside in the NIH computer room on campus and are jointly managed by the Back Office Systems Branch and our own staff. We can handle all your on-going maintenance needs, including upgrades and enhancements.
