Migrating to Claris FileMaker doesn’t mean losing years of historical data. Our migration process is built around safely and accurately transferring your existing data — from spreadsheets, legacy databases, or other platforms — into a modern, tailored FileMaker solution.
We’ve migrated businesses off everything from sprawling Excel workbooks and Access databases to older FileMaker Pro versions and other bespoke systems reaching end of life. Whatever you’re moving from, the starting point is the same: a full audit of what data exists, where it lives, and which parts are actually still needed — migrating a legacy system is also a good opportunity to leave behind the fields and processes nobody uses any more.
Cutover is never a single risky leap. We run the new system alongside the old for a period, checking that data and results match, so your team can move over with confidence rather than crossing their fingers on go-live day. If anything doesn’t look right during that period, we fix it before the old system is switched off, not after.
