FileMaker Pro Leverages 3Com's Intranet for Project Management

When 3Com needed a powerful intranet application that would allow for easy, in-house customization, developer Fahrenheit 450 built an application with FileMaker Pro for Windows and the Mac OS, the award-winning database from FileMaker, Inc.

3Com's Creative Services Department, which consists of some 60 users, uses the FileMaker Pro intranet application to manage projects by tracking vendors, staff, dates, clients, assets, invoices, and data. With this application, all department users, whether they're at the company's headquarters in Santa Clara, California, or in offices in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, or Salt Lake City, can access information across the intranet with just their Web browsers.

'The best thing about FileMaker Pro is its ease of development,' says Adam Butler, project manager at Fahrenheit 450. Butler, a long-time FileMaker Pro developer, also incorporated features from Lasso, WebSTAR, Canto Cumulus, and AppleScript into the 3Com application.

'FileMaker Pro enables us to operate more efficiently by allowing multiple locations to share and exchange information,' says James Peter, Information Distribution Manager with 3Com's Creative Services Department. 'It's much easier to setup and manage than any other database system.'

When it comes to supporting the information needs of Windows and Mac users, FileMaker Pro is the best product for developing comprehensive intranet applications.
