I will analyze filemaker solutions to identify risks and improvement opportunities
About this Gig
Not sure what shape your FileMaker system is in? If your previous developer left and you are unsure about stability, data quality, or hidden problems, I can help. I am Dwayne Wright, a FileMaker developer and analyst with over 40 years of experience supporting organizations like Apple, Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro, and several credit unions. I have evaluated, repaired, modernized, and rescued hundreds of FileMaker systems, and this gig gives you a clear, structured understanding of exactly what you have.
I review the overall architecture, relationships, scripts, layouts, data quality, security settings, and performance patterns that shape the health of your solution. When needed, I also look at server configuration, backup strategies, integrations, and what your previous developer may have left behind. My goal is to help you understand what is stable, what is risky, and what deserves attention.
Every package includes a clear, human-readable summary of my findings, a risk assessment, and practical recommendations tailored to your needs. Standard and Premium packages also include a live walkthrough so you can ask questions and get expert guidance on your next steps.

FAQ
What do you need from me to start the assessment?
All I need is access to your FileMaker file (a clone is fine) and, if available, information about how the system is used. If you have FileMaker Server access, that’s a bonus, but it’s not required.
Can you work with older versions of FileMaker?
Yes. I support legacy versions going back more than a decade as well as the most current releases of FileMaker Pro, FileMaker Server, and Claris Pro.
What if my database is broken, unstable, or throwing errors?
That’s exactly what this service is for. I specialize in inherited systems, abandoned projects, and solutions that feel fragile or unpredictable. I’ll identify the cause and outline your best options.
Will you explain the results in non-technical terms?
Absolutely. Every assessment includes a clear, human-readable explanation of what’s going on, why it matters, and what to do next—even if you don’t know anything about FileMaker.
Can you fix the issues you find after the assessment?
Yes. I offer follow-up development, stabilization, repair, and enhancement work as a separate service. Many clients start with this assessment and then move into a repair phase.
Will this slow down or interrupt my live system?
In almost all cases, no. I typically work from a clone or a safe copy of the file. If I need to access the live system, I’ll coordinate with you to avoid disruptions.
What if my system uses plugins, APIs, or external integrations?
I can review those as well. This includes imports, ODBC connections, API calls, server scripts, and any pathways where FileMaker interacts with other tools.
How detailed is the final report?
Your report includes a summary of findings, risk levels, explanations of the issues, and clear recommendations. Premium packages also include a prioritized modernization roadmap.
I’m not technical—can you help me understand what to do next?
Of course. My goal is to give you clarity. Standard and Premium packages include a live walkthrough where I explain everything in a friendly, approachable way and help you plan your next steps.
