Upgrading your FileMaker system
We can provide FileMaker upgrades for your existing FileMaker database system to help you take advantage of the latest FileMaker version. Whatever existing FileMaker version you are using, Decent Group can upgrade and update you to a more recent version and help you to take advantage of the most exciting features of the powerful FileMaker platform.
FileMaker 18
The most exciting feature of the new FileMaker 18 platform is the improved performance and security. We can help you take advantage of FileMaker 18 and all the benefits of using this powerful software.
You may sense that your FileMaker system needs an upgrade – perhaps you can no longer add users or can’t access the features you want.

What do you need to do?
If you’re licenced to use FileMaker 16 or 17, you may be eligible to start using FileMaker version 18 straight away at no cost and we can offer you support or help you migrate and update to FileMaker 18.
FileMaker 12, 13 and 14 (or lower) are no longer supported by FileMaker (and FileMaker 15 from September) although Decent Group still supports them. We can convert your databases and move you across to FileMaker 18. As Certified FileMaker developers (and the best in Europe – according to FileMaker themselves) we can carry out the FileMaker conversion for you.
