Are you hesitant to upgrade your current Claris FileMaker software because the version you have is still functional? It’s understandable, but delaying upgrades can lead to unforeseen issues down the line.

Security and compatibility risks

Outdated software opens the door to security vulnerabilities and compatibility issues, especially once the support for that version ends. With the support for FileMaker 18 already lapsed and FileMaker 19 set to end in December 2024, it’s crucial to stay updated.

Without security updates, your custom apps become vulnerable to cyber threats, while compatibility issues may disrupt seamless integration with other systems and impact your operations.

The latest version will help mitigate these risks:

Security: Keep your data protected with the latest security features.
Compatibility: Ensure smooth integration with other systems and hardware upgrades.
Speed: Maintain optimal system performance to avoid delays and inefficiencies.
Stability: Minimize bugs and crashes that can disrupt operations over time.

Benefits of updating

Upgrading provides a safer, more robust, faster, and reliable development environment.

Your organization will also gain access to new FileMaker features and enhancements, including:

Enhanced security to protect your data more effectively.
Greater scalability for larger deployments.
Improved performance and speed with infrastructure updates.
AI-driven solutions, thanks to support for Core ML models, enabling predictive AI in custom apps.
