The question I hear most often from a CEO or IT manager considering a new business system built on FileMaker is always the same: is the platform stable and secure enough to carry what we can't operate without? This article is my answer, backed by what Claris itself says about hosting, backup, and continuity in FileMaker Server 2026.
Many companies adapt their processes to fit a standard system. With FileMaker, the system is shaped around how you work, today and five years from now.
I have been building custom business systems on the FileMaker development platform since 1989. The combination of business development and a flexible platform gives the systems an unusually long life. Three of my solutions have been in daily operation for 26 years.
