To Whom it May Concern

Sandy Abbot – Filemaker Melbourne

We had a basic Filemaker database we had been using for a number of years, but it was time to bring it up to date with our growth and work requirements. Sandy’s input was spot on. We discussed what our needs and ideas were for the system and all along Sandy instilled confidence and he showed he had the knowledge and experience to do the work with out fuss. Sandy’s approach was inclusive of all interested parties and he gave us the tools to further develop and maintain the system. Systems like this are often a work in motion and it’s been a blessing to find someone who is happy to work with us at our pace and develop the database of time. Everyone at Rhino is extremely happy with our new system and no doubt we will be developing further with Sandy’s help.

Yours faithfully

Our information databases are very important and crucial to the day-to-day activities of our Company. Prior to finding Sandy, we struggled with recurring FilemakerPro problems and our databases. In addition, it was extremely difficult to find anyone with Mac experience.
Sandy fixed our database problems and now they work great! Sandy has also continued to provide us with the support we require. He is friendly yet professional and a pleasure to deal with. We definitely recommend his services to all, especially to those who use Macs in their workplace.
Kind regards,

Brigitte Seum developed a "relationship database" for use in the Faculty of Arts, Business, Information and Education. This database has since proven to be very beneficial and useful. Brigitte was extremely efficient, resourceful and informative while obtaining the necessary requirements for the database. Brigitte quickly understood the outcomes we wanted to achieve and was clear and concise in her recommendations for improving the original database. The work was completed well within the expected timeframes. I would definitely recommend Brigitte's expertise in this field and her work ethics.
Yours faithfully

In my association with Sandy from 2006, I have found him to be quite reliable and productive. I found him to also have some great input into the methodology of our systems for the operation of our database requirements for our non-profit organisation. From time to time I have needed Sandy to make alterations and additions to our database, such as scripting and additional reports and I always get a prompt response and a positive outcome. I would not hesitate in recommending Sandy for any prospective database development.

To Whom It May Concern:
I recommend highly Brigitte Seum as a Filemaker Pro consultant.
At the festival we had developed a database on Filemaker Pro which we had designed and built ourselves over 6 years. It was adequate whilst the staff numbers were small but the design started to show cracks when staff numbers grew and staff became more specialist and tasks became complicated.
The database is the backbone of our work – all our authors, events, sponsors, donors, marketing contacts, volunteers, publishers, media etc are in our database (it is actually 4 interlinked databases).
In the past we have called in consultants to work on the database but they have never grasped what we need the database to do and they have not been pro-active. They have been sorry and expensive exercises and I was loath to try another consultant. I’m glad I was persuaded to change my mind.
Brigitte came into the office and worked with us one-on-one. She grasped immediately the structure of the database, what we wanted it to do, what the problems were and, more importantly, what it would be capable of with some changes (we were not even aware that the database could do some of the things she added). She worked quickly and efficiently and turbo-charged our database. It is now capable of extraordinary efficiencies and has changed the way we work dramatically. It has many in-built email capabilities which are fabulous. She understood that we were a small underfunded arts organization and was very efficient and generous with her time. She has made it more user-friendly, more difficult to corrupt, more efficient and more ambitious. It is a vast improvement on our previous semi-amateur database.
I can’t recommend Brigitte Seum highly enough – she is sensational.
Yours faithfully,
Rosemary Cameron

Madman Printing had the pleasure of acquiring Sandy Abbot’s services to modernize & improve our Filemaker System. Sandy was able to make all the changes requested whilst having valuable input of his own. He is always available to assist and fix changes or glitches. We now have a very productive system, capable of streamlining our production, managing our inventory, ordering stock, interface with other systems and more.

...Brigitte carried out the work very professionally and with expertise. She was challenged on many occasion and worked through those challenges diligently. Her work ethics were impeccable and she was only too happy to provide phone support once the system was ready to start using...

We moved all our computer systems from Pc to Mac and had to change the database from Access to Filemaker Pro.
Sandy was very effective in making the changes and together we incorporated several improvements to the functionality of our database including; linking our office database into our online email database, speeding up multiple bookings And (the inevitable) changes to bookings, increasing the usefulness and diversity of our search functions and improved the membership renewal function.
Sandy was very available and personable and we look forward to not having to see him again for a long while (in the best possible way).
