Core Solutions

The Core of the Solution

Every great software solution begins with a solid foundation -- a reliable framework upon which the rest of the system may be constructed. And for Ontario-based educational software developer CoreSolutions Development, the core of every solution is clearly FileMaker Pro -- the award-winning database software application from FileMaker Inc.

CoreSolutions is a company with a straightforward mission -- to help organizations increase their productivity and improve their efficiency through the development of effective and versatile data-management software. "By keeping current with leading-edge technology, our experienced development team design and deliver innovative software solutions," explains CoreSolutions' Sales and Marketing Manager, Paul Taylor. "We also provide professional training and support services for the entire FileMaker Pro family of products -- as Canada's leading FileMaker developer and training provider, our expertise in database management is sought after throughout North America."

But it's in the ever-challenging field of education that CoreSolutions is making its biggest splash, with a range of FileMaker Pro-based products designed to address the special needs of teachers and administrators in school systems of every sort and every size. "We have a special 'For Educators' section on our website highlighting our current education products," Paul continues. "Web Grades, an online report card writing tool for teachers, and InSite for Education, a web-based course registration system for school districts offering professional development opportunities." CoreSolutions works closely with a number of widely-varied clients including the Ontario Ministry of Education and many of its district school boards, the Nunavut Department of Education, the Educational Computing Organization of Ontario, the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, the University of Toronto and the University of British Columbia.

And however CoreSolutions uses FileMaker Pro, clients find the application easy and flexible to use -- and if you ask the developers at CoreSolutions, you'll get the same answer. "The key benefit of developing with FileMaker Pro is its ease of use," confirms Paul. "We're able to create powerful, fully-featured business applications in a fraction of the time it would take using other technologies. The systems we create are fast, reliable, and easily customizable -- and as the needs of our clients change we're able to redesign their systems with more features. Our clients also benefit -- they're able to learn FileMaker quickly so they can make their own modifications as needed. They find there's a very short learning curve when new staff need to learn the application."

From single-user licenses to 5000 users spread across an entire school district, CoreSolutions products meet the demands of an ever-changing world -- testimony to the value of FileMaker Pro at their core!
