We are living through a time of enormous change and dislocation. The pandemic has accelerated profound transformations in how we work and think about work. Work, as we know it, is forever changed.

The organizing principle of work has shifted from workplace to workforce for the knowledge and services economy. The newest and best machines we use now live in the cloud–in networks. Modern work and workforces require new ways to create software and business; new ways to solve problems for people. What’s needed is a revolution in the practice of FileMaker Consulting.

At Proof+Geist, we believe that the Claris FileMaker platform offers a unique set of capabilities that address these challenges and opportunities. Modern FileMaker is a people-first philosophy. It is also a practice that imagines the Claris platform and FileMaker as critical components of a networked business operating system. Modern FileMaker is about cloud-native apps that work in concert with other systems at scale.

We call what we do and how we do it the Modern FileMaker Revolution. Learn more about the revolution.

The Proof+Geist team can help you with any stage of your FileMaker application development, from start to finish. We are passionate about applying thoughtful design, robust system architecture, and straightforward project management processes. We are proud of our unparalleled, hard-earned experience from having seen hundreds of custom solutions of all shapes and sizes.

Increasingly, our FileMaker consulting customers have asked us to build modern web applications powered by their custom FileMaker backend systems. We build custom web applications connected to Claris FileMaker using open-source tools like Next.js and React. Now, we can take your custom business apps and connect them to your external partners and customers, extending the reach of your custom software around the world.

Claris FileMaker shines as an integration platform. We have built integrations into hundreds of SaaS applications and APIs using FileMaker scripting, the FileMaker Data API, and OData API. We can connect your custom FileMaker app to anything that has an API. Automate your other critical applications using FileMaker Pro.

As Claris Platinum Partners, we are trusted advisors for Claris and the community. Proof+Geist engineers worked with Claris to design and build the addons that shipped with FileMaker 19. Proof+Geist is the 2023 Claris Innovation Award winner for our flagship cloud hosting platform, Ottomatic.
