The Incident Command System (ICS) is a structured approach to managing natural and man-made disasters that evolved out of California wildfire response in the 1970s and has since been adopted nationwide and is used to manage disasters of all kinds. At Portage Bay, we’ve been working for quite a few years with a variety of businesses who work with the ICS primarily in oil spill incident response.
We debuted our Easy 213 app at the recent Clean Pacific Conference
Dr. Snip is a vasectomy clinic that needed a web form for patient inquiries that tied into their FileMaker system. We used FM BetterForms to build a complex Web app very quickly.
One of our large clients brought in a security analysis firm, BlueOrane to perform a security analysis on all of their systems. BlueOrange found a number of security issues in the FileMaker solution, most of which were related to decisions made over the years to facilitate ease of administration and support of the application.
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.
Ceradyne / 3M Seattle uses a custom 4D solution to manage their lab. Recent modifications alert lab staff more quickly if the trend in test results shows a potential issue.
Our client, a healthcare facility, uses FileMaker to manage their patient care data. It integrates with DrFirst ePerscription and Labcorp lab testing services. We created an iOS app to allow doctors to view a subset of this data on their phones.
