We are still having to explain to clients why we need them to buy a copy of
FileMaker to run our products' full features. Web views are possible, but we
have to build in additional security and keep up with browser hackers. The
perception is that this would add to the cost.
On the contrary, this requirement
to use FileMaker as the clients makes our products less costly overall. But that
will not longer be an issue.As of next month, all of our packages will come complete with the required
FileMaker client. Even with the price of FileMaker our products are lower cost
and superior in performance. And, we like the fact that our clients are not
working through a web browser.
Lately the number of viruses, works and adware attacking servers with old
style browsers is keeping the IT department busy. Viral software runs in the
background, constantly checking communications and this means you have to
purchase more expensive computers. Why bother, I say? Forget the browser. It
wasn't designed for secure database transactions, it is a free product! Browsers
are designed for e-commerce, and allow merchants to place software in your
computer without your permission, to track you buying habits, so they can
display relevant advertisements. This is the real purpose, and not database
communications for mission critical applications, such as maintenance.
We were looking for a way to explain the complex subject of preventive maintenance software in a few seconds. Our budget was limited. Se finally found this great Beta product at http://www.powtoon.com and created our first "explainer video". So far no voice over, but we thought this was an improvement over a text based landing page. For information about EPM go to http://www.municipalnets.com/EPM12.htm.

We are currently working on integrating iPhone with FileMaker Go and to be able to update the database from a bar code input. Here is a reference, and we will also work with CNC Barcode.
New mapping applications have been integrated intoPublic Works Manager. For those looking for the simplicity and economy of Google Maps, you can now map your workorders on google maps using multicolored pins, each color representing a department. When you click on any of these pins you get information about that workorder and you can then click directly to that workorder to edit it.
Here is screen shot of the new application.
A new video demonstrates this application and the new interface which is available to ArcGIS.
The company plans to continue developing ArcGIS interfaces to include interaction with our public works dispatching service.
View our on line video demo of our mapping applications.
