## 01 The Client

Callum Innes Studio is an artist's studio based in Edinburgh. They had been using FileMaker for several years to maintain a database of artworks — tracking titles, details, images, gallery locations, and storage information.

## 02 The Challenge

The studio had been running their database from a single file on a local machine. They recognised the benefits of moving the data to FileMaker Server for automated backups and remote access, making the database available to team members outside the studio.

## 03 Our Approach

We installed FileMaker Server and configured the network for remote access. We then created a bespoke app launcher file, allowing studio users to open their database directly from the desktop — removing the need to navigate FileMaker's Open Remote menu. We also created thumbnails of their extensive image collection, as the original high-resolution files would have made remote access unusable.
