Georgia Department of Community Affairs

The Georgia Department of Community Affairs recently replaced their antiquated paper system for evaluating and awarding grants to local governments with FileMaker Pro.

Santa Clara Police Department, AVA Unit

The Santa Clara Police Department relies on a FileMaker Pro-based solution to track abandoned vehicles. Moving from a paper-based system to the FileMaker Pro-based solution helped generate more than $70,000 in new funding, and saves the officers time so they can handle more critical duties.

Safety codes governing construction practices in the building and electrical trades are kept up to date by the National Fire Protection Association -- and XML capabilities will make the new FileMaker Pro 6 an even more valuable tool in this process.

Caltrans

It's up to California's Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to keep traffic rolling in California -- a big job, since California has one of the largest transportation infrastructures in the United States. The job is simplified now that FileMaker Pro is in the driver's seat at Caltrans, tracking hundreds of projects ranging from maintaining highways to seismic retrofitting of bridges.

Santa Clara County Department of Planning

At the Santa Clara County Department of Planning and Development (SCCDPD), FileMaker Pro is hard at work, tracking everything from land use applications, to building permit approval.
