A FileMaker upgrade can equip you with a more reliable business tool to drive your ambitions as a business.
The latest version of FileMaker is fully supported by its creator Claris (a subsidiary of Apple), and receives routine security updates and other improvements. By keeping up-to-date with the latest version, you’re less likely to face compatibility issues when you upgrade any of your hardware. And you’ll have the opportunity to use new tools that weren’t previously available.
Once your system is upgraded, you’ll be able to take advantage of other improvements that can really add value to the day to day lives of your users – a huge potential benefit.
While carrying out your FileMaker upgrade, we will also ensure your server is performing well. We will advise on the best server configuration (on-site or FileMaker hosting) according to your circumstances. We will also advise you if any upgrades or improvements are possible to improve your system’s ongoing stability, scalability and security.
An up-to-date system is more robust, compatible and future-proof.
With the latest FileMaker version, your system will receive regular security updates, necessary for full compliance with the requirements of Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001.
Once we’ve updated your system, we can advise on other changes that can have a powerful positive effect on your business.
