Hosting your FileMaker solution in the cloud is the preferred option if you need to share your solution across multiple sites or with remote/home workers.
It is also ideal for those organisations who want to avoid the hassle and considerable expense of running and maintaining in-house servers.
Our background
We have over 25 years’ proven experience of advising and setting up appropriate Claris FileMaker hosting environments and associated licencing bundles for both ‘cloud’ and ‘on-premise’ server deployments.
Our service
We are able to advise on the ideal hosting solution for you from a panel of third party FileMaker cloud hosting providers.
Knowing which provider to opt for can be a daunting process and is very much guided by the specific requirements of your FileMaker solution and userbase.
So we ask all the right questions to ensure you end up on the right platform…
14 day trials
Most cloud hosting providers offer a 14 day trial – without obligation – to enable you to test connectivity and performance across your userbase. In most cases this will also include trial versions of FileMaker’s latest desktop apps.
How we are remunerated
We derive our income from our ‘fixed-fee’ as well as a small margin from any Claris FileMaker Licencing† that we arrange for you in our capacity as Authorised Claris FileMaker Resellers.
We do not currently derive any remuneration from our panel of third party cloud hosting providers thereby ensuring impartial and independent advice.
So what’s included?
Dependent on the licencing bundle you opt for you will receive:
• FileMaker licences for Pro (desktop) | Go (iOS devices) | WebDirect (web browsers)
• Hosting account setup in your name with our recommended FileMaker cloud hosting provider
• Detailed documentation to include all passwords and instructions
• 20 minutes of one-to-one remote training on how to manage your cloud dashboard and configure/manage your backups
We are able to provide ‘hosting-only’ environments to those who have already arranged their FileMaker licencing directly through Claris.
Flexibility
Claris FileMaker Licencing is flexible, scaleable and based on your actual usage so that you only ever pay for what you need – ensuring a cost-effective solution for organisations of all sizes – from 5 to 100 users.
