“Soliant’s seamless conversion of our existing Filemaker 5.5 database to Filemaker 9 was extremely efficient and organized, resulting in no disruption to our operations. We absolutely look forward to working with Soliant for future systems expansions.”

System Upgrade Positioned the Wine Spectrum for Growth

The Wine Spectrum specializes in the ultra premium wine category and has been selling wines directly to fine wine enthusiasts and collectors across the country since 1990. They excel in customer relations, offering their clients extensive service in the form of consultation, wine storage, and access to the world's most desired wines, all with the aim of developing long-term relationships with their clients.

Their FileMaker Pro database system serves as the backbone of their operational systems, most notably their customer relationship management systems. Developed over a number of years, the system had grown to comprise 44 FileMaker Pro 5.5 files. In the summer of 2007, faced with new requirements and the desire for better deployment options, Wine Spectrum turned to Soliant Consulting to convert to FileMaker Pro 9.

Soliant developed a conversion plan and executed the six-week project so that there was a seamless transition of this mission critical system. As part of the project, remote sales reps were moved from limited browser-based access to a Terminal Services interface to provide a more feature rich experience as well as much faster response times. The upgraded system allows for new enhancements to support their growth—the first such additions included shipping and inventory integration and web extensions.
