41 years. A lot has changed. Our approach hasn’t.

The Support Group opened its doors in 1985, and the technology world looks very different today than it did back then. FileMaker has changed quite a bit too — and we’ve been there for the ride.

Through 41 years of new versions, new capabilities, and new ways of working, one thing has stayed the same: we’re a customer service company that happens to be good at technology.

We’re incredibly grateful to the clients who have trusted us, the people who have been part of our team, and the partners and friends who have supported TSG along the way.
