FileMaker Migration Service

Your FileMaker app is a liability.
Let's make it an asset.

I built FileMaker systems for 15+ years. Now I use AI-powered tooling to migrate them into modern web apps — in weeks, not months. Fixed price. No vendor lock-in. Your data, your code.

01 — The Problem

FileMaker served you well.
But the cracks are showing.

Licensing Costs Keep Climbing

Per-seat pricing that scales against you. Every new hire means another license. Claris Cloud hosting adds even more.

Vendor Lock-In Is Real

Your entire business logic lives inside a proprietary format. You can't inspect it, version it, or move it without specialized tools.

Proprietary .fmp12 files = zero portability

Finding Devs Is a Nightmare

The FileMaker talent pool is aging out. The developers who know your system are retiring — and nobody is replacing them.

FileMaker dev pool shrinking every year

It Can't Keep Up

No real-time collaboration. No native mobile. No modern API integrations without expensive workarounds. WebDirect is a band-aid.

WebDirect concurrent user limits = bottleneck

One Bad Day Away

A single corrupted file can bring your whole operation down. Backups exist but recovery is painful. How long can you afford to be offline?

Monolithic .fmp12 = single point of failure

The "Discontinued" Question

Claris published a blog post titled "Is FileMaker Being Discontinued?" — when the vendor has to answer that question publicly, it's time to plan your exit.

02 — The Process

AI-powered migration.
Not a rewrite — a transformation.

01

Export Your DDR

You send me your FileMaker Database Design Report. It's a built-in export — takes 2 minutes. This gives me your complete schema: tables, fields, relationships, scripts, layouts, value lists. Everything.

DDR ExportZero downtimeYour data stays put

AI Generates Your Migration Plan

My custom-built migration skill analyzes your DDR and produces a complete migration plan — data model, entity relationships, business logic mapping, and a modern schema ready for PostgreSQL or any database.

Rapid App Rebuild

Using iterative AI-assisted development, I rebuild your application as a modern web app. Same business logic. Better UX. Real-time. Mobile-ready. AI-powered features you never had before — built in weeks, not months.

Data Migration & Launch

We migrate your actual data, validate everything, and cut over. From there, you choose: take the source code, database, and hosting credentials and run it yourself — or let us host and maintain it for you with a simple monthly plan. Either way, there's no lock-in. You can switch at any time.

Case Study — Live Migration

From a FileMaker Solution I Built Years Ago to an AI-Powered Web Application

I took an old FileMaker solution I originally built for a furniture store and migrated it to a full-stack web application with AI-powered features — as a live demonstration of the process.

04 — Why Me

I'm not a migration vendor.
I'm the guy who built these systems.

15+ Years in FileMaker

Building production FileMaker solutions since 2008. I know the platform inside out — the strengths, the limitations, and exactly where the migration landmines are.

Enterprise Experience

Principal Member of Technical Staff at Oracle. Managed teams that deployed 20+ production applications in 8 months. I build at scale.

Custom AI Tooling

I built a proprietary migration skill that reads your DDR and generates a complete migration plan. This isn't manual — it's automated, repeatable, and fast.

Texas-Based. Se Habla Español.

Based in Plano, TX. I work directly with business owners — no overseas team, no account managers. You talk to the person writing the code.

MBA + Technical Depth

MBA with Business Analytics minor. I understand your P&L, not just your schema. Every migration decision is a business decision.

No Lock-In. Ever.

You get the source code, the database, and the deployment credentials. If you fire me tomorrow, you still own everything. That's the point.

05 — Let's Go

Send me your DDR.
I'll send you a migration plan.

Free. No commitment. You'll see exactly what your modern app would look like — schema, features, timeline, and fixed price.
