The archives we build for each client are made with Claris FileMaker, the platform we have been using for over twenty years. We develop bespoke solutions in a client-server architecture: the database sits on FileMaker Server and every member of staff works on it from FileMaker Pro on their own computer, at the same time and on the same data.
With FileMaker Go the archive travels on iPhone and iPad, for cataloguing in storage, checking a work at an exhibition or consulting the catalogue during a site visit; with WebDirect it also opens in a simple browser. When needed, we build dedicated apps for iOS and Android, linked to the archive.
These same foundations gave rise to the ready-made tools you will find below.
