Supporting your FileMaker system
At Decent Group we can support your existing FileMaker system to ensure the essential processes it fulfils are documented, that the system is healthy and that you know what work will be needed in the coming months or years. We can support systems written in FileMaker 3, 4, 4.1, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, 8.5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 or 16 – although for the best results we would recommend upgrading older versions to the latest ones. We can help with the upgrade and licensing.
If your server or system goes down and you lose hours or days restoring it, that could cost thousands of pounds to remedy, plus the cost of lost business opportunities and lost productivity. In order to guard against this important area of business risk, our FileMaker System Condition Report ensures you are fully cognisant of any security issues, data corruption, redundant areas of the system, and opportunities for future development.
If you have a problem or feel you’re patching your system up, let us help you move from a band aid situation to having a FileMaker Pro system that’s a reliable, integral part of your business.

FileMaker System Condition Reports
In a System Condition Report our FileMaker experts will review your system and report back to you with their analysis triaged by urgent recommendations, medium priority and low priority. This ensures you can choose to contract us to deal with the most urgent or essential issues first.
We’ll review areas such as: who has the authorisation to copy data, or make deletions to the database, for example; whether there are unregistered plug-ins or incorrect scripts slowing the system down or causing errors; all areas which FileMaker security could resolve. In a System Condition Report we also highlight measures which could be required immediately such as off-site backups, or in the future, such as an upgrade to the latest version of FileMaker.
