A Claris Case Study
DKA Architects faced rapid growth and an undocumented, unsupported FileMaker Information Management System (IMS) plus overflowing physical filing from project email correspondence that must be retained for up to 15 years to meet ISO 9001. The firm needed an improved FileMaker solution and a centralised, searchable email archive to reduce administration and support scalable working practices.
Decent Group (FileMaker Business Alliance platinum partner) documented and rebuilt the IMS and delivered a bespoke eDKAmail archive on the FileMaker platform that automates filing and retrieval, enforces DKA’s processes, and secures correspondence. The system paid for itself within two months, delivered £50–60K annual savings, cut printing, storage and staff hours, improved access to information and ensured ISO 9001 compliance.
