We've built, rescued and run Claris FileMaker systems since 2006 — and we still do. Senior FileMaker developers, Platinum-partner standard, who can also see past the platform: when you're ready to look at what's next, we navigate that with you instead of selling you a rebuild.
Twenty years of your business logic live in that solution — every field, script and workflow is a decision someone made about how your company actually runs. A migration that throws that away is a rewrite. Ours doesn't: we treat the FileMaker system as a working specification and build the next platform from it, while it keeps running.
We read the solution end to end — schema, scripts, layouts, integrations — and document what it actually does, not what the binder from 2011 says.
Anything fragile gets fixed first. FileMaker keeps serving the business at full strength — this is a foundation, not a deathbed.
The schema, scripts and workflows become the specification for the new platform. Nothing your business learned in twenty years gets left behind.
The whole solution crosses in one rehearsed cut-over — every workflow, all the data. The new platform runs in parallel until you trust it, FileMaker stays warm as the fallback until you switch it off. Not two half-systems taped together for three years.
Yes. We are a Claris Platinum partner and have built and supported FileMaker systems for two decades. New features, fixes, performance work, integrations and version upgrades are all in scope — with no pressure to migrate.
Yes — this is one of the most common ways clients arrive. We audit the solution, document what it actually does, stabilise anything fragile, and take over support with a senior developer on the other end of the phone.
No. If FileMaker is serving the business, the right move is often to keep it healthy. Migration makes sense when licensing, platform limits or integration needs start costing more than they return — and we will tell you honestly which side of that line you're on.
The opposite — your FileMaker system is the most valuable asset in the project. Its schema, scripts and workflows are a working specification of how your business actually runs, refined over years. We use it as the blueprint for the new platform, and your data comes across intact.
One move, rehearsed. We migrate the whole solution — every workflow, all the data — and run the new platform in parallel until you trust it, with FileMaker kept warm as the fallback until you switch it off. The cut-over is a destination, not a limbo you live in. How a whole-solution migration works →
Yes — dedicated Australian-hosted FileMaker servers with daily off-site backups, a fixed IP and SSL, plus AWS and Claris Cloud deployment where that fits better. Licensing comes with it: right-sized seats on the right licensing model, so you only pay for what you actually use.
