“It works—but it’s getting slow.”
Layouts, scripts, relationships, calculations, hosting, and architecture can all create performance bottlenecks as a solution grows.
We bring 39 years of IT and software development experience together with 4 years focused on modern AI. Our work spans Claris FileMaker development and licensing, custom software, databases, APIs, automation, AI consulting, AI agents, and AI-powered application development. We can improve the FileMaker system you already depend on—and help you intelligently extend it into what comes next.
Many FileMaker systems start as a smart solution to one problem, then grow into the operational backbone of the company. Eventually the questions get bigger.
Layouts, scripts, relationships, calculations, hosting, and architecture can all create performance bottlenecks as a solution grows.
FileMaker often needs to exchange data with websites, accounting platforms, CRMs, APIs, cloud services, and modern AI workflows.
Legacy solutions can become difficult to maintain when documentation is limited or years of incremental changes have accumulated.
Server, Cloud, user counts, concurrent usage, annual plans, perpetual options, upgrades, and deployment choices can create unnecessary complexity.
Our IT roots go back to 1987, covering custom business technology, networking, databases, software development, and systems integration. For the past 4 years, we have also been actively consulting on and developing modern AI solutions, agents, automation, and intelligent applications. That combination matters when your FileMaker system needs more than a few layout changes.
39 years of solving real business problems with technology—from business software and networks to modern cloud, databases, APIs, integrations, and enterprise systems.
We develop, modernize, integrate, troubleshoot, deploy, and support FileMaker solutions that serve as critical business applications.
Four years of hands-on modern AI work. We consult, design, and build AI agents, intelligent workflows, voice systems, automation, integrations, and custom AI-enabled applications.
Instead of separating your database, custom software, infrastructure, and AI strategy, we can look at the complete technology stack and design them to work together.
Many FileMaker developers understand databases. Many AI consultants understand AI tools. We bring both disciplines together. That means we can preserve the value in your existing FileMaker solution while adding intelligent document processing, natural-language interfaces, AI-assisted data entry, smart search, workflow automation, analytics, and custom AI agents where they create measurable value.
We work with FileMaker as a business platform—not just a database. The goal is a solution that fits the way your people actually work.
Design and build custom CRM, operations, inventory, estimating, project management, workflow, and industry-specific applications.
Bring older FileMaker solutions forward while protecting the workflows, data, and business logic your organization depends on.
Identify slow layouts, scripts, finds, calculations, schema issues, server constraints, and workflow problems that reduce productivity.
Connect FileMaker with web services, accounting tools, CRMs, cloud platforms, external databases, and custom REST APIs.
Work with actual AI consultants and developers to add document intelligence, natural-language interfaces, AI agents, summarization, assisted data entry, smart search, voice workflows, and intelligent automation directly around your FileMaker environment.
Plan hosting, backups, security, remote access, deployment architecture, continuity, and migration for FileMaker Server or FileMaker Cloud.
Claris positions FileMaker as a low-code platform for creating production-ready custom business applications. It combines data, logic, interface, security, automation, deployment, and integrations in one environment—while adding modern AI capabilities that can extend existing solutions.
FileMaker is designed for applications tailored to the exact workflows of a business, making it a strong fit for CRM, operations, inventory, estimating, service management, healthcare workflows, and specialized line-of-business systems.
FileMaker supports native use across macOS, Windows, iPhone, and iPad, plus browser access through WebDirect—useful when one solution needs to serve office, mobile, remote, and field users.
FileMaker's scripting engine can automate workflows, data processing, application behavior, reporting, notifications, imports, exports, and multi-step business processes without requiring a traditional programming language for every task.
Claris supports connecting FileMaker to AI services through native scripting and APIs. That creates practical opportunities for AI-assisted search, document processing, summarization, content generation, intelligent data entry, multimodal workflows, and agentic automation.
FileMaker includes user authentication, role-based privileges, and record-level security, helping businesses build multi-user applications with access controls designed into the solution rather than bolted on later.
FileMaker Server supports self-hosted deployments on your infrastructure, while FileMaker Cloud provides hosted deployment without maintaining your own server hardware. We can help determine which model best fits your organization.
FileMaker is no longer just a database tool. It can sit at the center of a connected application environment involving APIs, web services, cloud platforms, automation, secure data access, and AI. Our 39 years of IT experience helps us understand the systems around FileMaker; our 4 years of modern AI work helps us design what FileMaker can become next.

We help you understand your current environment, compare deployment choices, and identify the licensing approach that matches how your team actually uses FileMaker.
FileMaker licensing now sits within the broader Claris platform. We help translate the choices into a practical business decision.
We review your existing FileMaker deployment, users, servers, versions, apps, and how the system is being used today.
New employees, remote access, cloud strategy, mobile use, integrations, acquisitions, and aging infrastructure can all affect the right licensing path.
We help separate “available” from “appropriate,” so the licensing decision supports your technical and financial goals.
If a change makes sense, we can help coordinate licensing, development, upgrade, deployment, testing, and user rollout as one project.
Current FileMaker licensing includes access to the broader Claris platform, including FileMaker, Claris Connect, and Claris Studio within plan limits. FileMaker can be deployed through FileMaker Server or FileMaker Cloud, with licensing choices varying by environment and organization size.
Tell us what the system does, what hurts, what changed, and what the business needs next.
We review the solution, deployment, licensing, architecture, performance, integrations, and risks that matter.
You get a prioritized path covering quick wins, development work, licensing decisions, and longer-term modernization.
We build, upgrade, integrate, migrate, test, train, and support the solution through real-world deployment.
Modernize what works instead of forcing a costly rebuild simply because the solution has been around for years.
Automate repetitive tasks, approvals, notifications, data movement, reporting, document handling, and follow-up.
Make FileMaker part of a connected business environment rather than an isolated application.
Align licensing and deployment choices with actual usage, growth plans, infrastructure, and budget.
Our IT business roots date to 1987, giving us 39 years of technology experience. Over the last 4 years, we have added focused modern AI consulting and development to that foundation. That long development history gives us something increasingly valuable in the AI era: experience connecting new technology to the systems businesses already depend on.
Bring us the FileMaker system you have today and the business you want to build tomorrow. We’ll help identify the highest-impact next step—development, modernization, integration, licensing optimization, or an AI-enabled workflow that extends the value of your existing solution.
