Entellic demonstrates a high degree of confidence in FileMaker ® software as a foundation to its Waste Inventory System to U.S. Department of Energy contractors.

In February, 2007, Entellic Corporation was approved for a Software Bundling Agreement (SBA) by FileMaker, Inc., allowing the company to sell FileMaker® Pro software as a component to Entellic's Waste Inventory System.

During the past several months, Entellic produced a system to track the processing of radioactive containers across tightly controlled inventory control areas managed by U.S. Department of Energy contractors. The system provides isotopic characterization and site conversion for each incoming container, then tracks the joining of container values to new outgoing containers.

The system also pre-evaluates the effects of radioactive values to destined control areas prior to moving the containers. Real-time container tracking takes place using batch bar code scanners. All data is stored on a local area network, served by FileMaker Server.

Entellic applied for the SBA to provide end-users a means to purchase a comprehensive, specialized workgroup application built on proven workgroup software. FileMaker software was selected because of its unique combination of benefits:
  • The FileMaker development environment allows for rapid flexibility, allowing Entellic to adapt its solution to the specific requirements of each governmental site.

  • FileMaker provides Entellic developers with almost unlimited graphical user interface options, leading to greater user acceptance.

  • FileMaker Server allows for a robust method of serving data while balancing the processing requirements to workstations.

"Whenever we sell a system in D.O.E. space, it endures a comprehensive validation and verification process by our customers," said Duane Wilton, President of Entellic Corporation. "Working in FileMaker allows us to focus on solving difficult workgroup problems with confidence in the delivery of the resulting solution. The bundling agreement allows us to transfer that same level of confidence to our customers while resolving a variety of procurement challenges that would otherwise be present from a two-vendor purchase."
