Admission, Academic and Development systems. The fact they are built
on FileMaker made them extremely flexible in what they could do.
When we needed to do some greater customizations and want to really
extend what we were able to do we went with The Proof Group (http://www.proofgroup.com
) as they the experience and understanding of what our needs were and
a willingness to help us achieve those goals.
The Proof Group was able to take what we had and extended it so, plug-
in new pieces and bring in new, better systems that have allowed us to
do better reporting and management.
I would recommend that whatever direction you go in you decide on
something that is flexible enough to do what you need it to do and
that you have a company with the people who will truly listen... to
that end I recommend The Proof Group.
