We are Certified Experts for highly professional software development using Claris FileMaker as well as the migration of existing software based on Lotus Approach.
And we share, because we can!

We deliver Facts, not Fiction!





Development

We develop bespoke software for the efficient management of business processes. Time and again, Claris FileMaker proves to be the tool of first choice — it maps processes right down to the micro level, fully complies with GDPR requirements, runs without restriction on macOS, iOS and Windows, and enables secure, direct communication with other systems and data sources.

We solve problems. Competently and reliably!

Migration

Beyond building new custom software from scratch, we also offer the migration of existing systems and solutions — in particular those based on Lotus Approach. Our experience in this field makes a true 1:1 migration possible.

We preserve your proven solutions and give them a new lease of life.

Consulting

We combine a design-driven mindset, a deep understanding of the latest technologies and a structured approach to solving any challenge — setting you up for your digital transformation.

We deliver Facts, not Fiction!

Training

Starting from scratch, we guide you confidently through the planning, structuring and development of software. Our curriculum covers essential foundations and a thorough discussion of software development methodologies, as well as the principles of interface design and colour theory — enabling you to build your own software effectively and without delay.

We share, because we can!

Licences

As a long-standing Claris Platinum Partner we are ideally placed to develop the most suitable licensing concept for your needs and to offer you very special terms.

We help you save. The right money in the right place!

Events

Since 2013 we have organised the largest pan-European developer unconference, dotfmp.berlin, which brings the brightest minds and most skilled developers to Berlin each year. This 3-day event is the premier gathering for the Crème de la Crème of European developers and is so highly regarded internationally that colleagues from the USA, Canada, Dubai, Japan and Australia regularly make the long journey to attend.

We also run the Berlin FileMaker Meetup — open to anyone who wants to meet and talk about all things FileMaker.

FAQ

What is FileMaker?

Claris FileMaker is a low-code application development platform that enables even non-technical users to quickly and easily create and share custom applications.

Why FileMaker?

Claris FileMaker is a low-code tool that helps problem-solvers build, share and integrate apps tailored to their specific business challenges.
