Canvassing and Phonebanking with CiviCRM

Migrating Data From FileMaker To CiviCRM
October 21, 2009FileMaker is a popular "personal database" package that runs on the Windows or Mac desktop. Many organizations keep their data in a FileMaker database. Because of the limitations of this method of maintaining a database, some organizations wish to migrate their database to CiviCRM. This article describes the obstacles in doing that and how to overcome them.
RSRA and Google Maps
October 16, 2009Wild Utah Project (WUP), along with other conservationists and scientists, has been developing the Rapid-Stream Riparian Assessment, which uses scientific indicators to determine stream health. WUP approached us to "build an RSRA database" and make it accessible for the world to use. We were able to leverage their existing Drupal CMS and extend it to make their vision a reality. We built the custom web-based database in less than 50 hours, at a fraction of the market cost. It was completed ahead of schedule and far exceeded their initial requirements.
