Studio Manager Authorized Consultants

People Who Know Studio Manager...

Customizing and Support from Authorized Studio Manager Consultants

Our support services include a program to authorize qualified FileMaker Pro consultants worldwide. Our goal is to have a network of experienced professionals to whom we can refer Studio Manager customers for customization and support. Our network of authorized consultants changes over time. We are constantly seeking to make contacts with more consultants who would like to market, support and customize Studio Manager.

Which geographic areas are covered?

We now have authorized consultants in San Francisco, New York, Boston, Florida, Colorado, Kansas, Chicago, Vancouver BC, Japan and New Zealand. We are actively recruiting additional consultants in major metropolitan areas of the United States, Canada, the UK and Australia. Contact us if you are looking for help – we may have a referral for you.

Do I have to hire an authorized consultant?

We believe that there are consultants and in-house experts all over the world who have become proficient in Studio Manager customization, but have never told us. This is perfectly acceptable. We encourage anyone who wishes to work with Studio Manager to learn as much as possible. If they want our support, we gladly provide it. If they want to do it on their own without our input, they are free to do so. Because of our open policy, there is lots of Studio Manager expertise out there that we don't even know about.

We do know that there are experienced Filemaker consultants in most metropolitan areas and that the best way to find them is through FileMaker Inc. which has its own consultants program. Working directly with us or hiring an authorized Studio Manager consultant is only one of the options available for those seeking assistance withStudio Manager.

What if I find a FileMaker consultant I like?

More power to you! If you locate a FileMaker consultant you like, we can help you in two ways. We can explain to them what is involved in customizing Studio Manager. They may be surprised how much they can do since so many software products are locked up tight. Secondly, we can help them get up to speed quickly with the product. It is in our interest to have knowledge of Studio Manager in the heads of as many FileMaker consultants as possible and we will be generous in our support.

Sharing Resources

Part of our philosophy here at Tokerud Consulting Group is a commitment to share resources, information and work. We do not ask our authorized consultants for any percentage of their income. Rather, they are requested to provide our customers with the best service possible, at fair rates and with a high level of integrity. We also ask them to give us feedback about their experience with Studio Manager so that we can continue to improve the software.

We are very supportive of our authorized consultants. Our goal is to have more folks using Studio Manager and getting the most out of it. To that end, we do our best to help those who are helping our customers whether it is ensuring an easy start-up or solving complex customization challenges. We make ourselves available to answer questions via phone or email, and if requested, will work closely with any skilled consultant.

Finding an Authorized Studio Manager consultant

If you are interested in a referral, please contact us by email. Because our list of authorized consultants changes more quickly than this web page, we are likely to be able to refer you to someone in your area (unless you live in the boondocks or Timbuktu – then you might have to work with us or someone else remotely).

Becoming Authorized

If you are a consultant and want more information about becoming authorized, please contact Janet to discuss your experience and consulting practice. Given her experience in the field and as a Filemaker consultant herself, Janet is the only person at Tokerud Consulting Group who can authorize a consultant. Perhaps you have met her at one of the Filemaker Developer Conferences or at a meeting of the FileMaker Solutions Alliance, of which we are a charter member.

Our authorized consultants are finding that they can bundle Studio Manager into a custom solution for a design firm or corporate communications department. This allows them to provide a really powerful solution at an attractive price to customers. It can be a tougher sell to build an entire custom solution from scratch due to the expense of custom work.
