Claris
Description
Claris is a software company, owned by Apple, that develops the FileMaker platform used for building custom applications, automating business processes, and integrating data across systems.
The company's flagship product, Claris FileMaker, is a low-code development platform that enables users to create custom applications for desktop, web, and mobile devices. The platform includes tools for designing user interfaces, defining data structures, scripting workflows, and connecting to external data sources through APIs.
Educational institutions use FileMaker to build bespoke solutions for tasks such as admissions tracking, alumni management, examination records, timetabling, and reporting where off-the-shelf systems do not meet specific institutional requirements. Claris also offers tools and services that support application deployment, security, and integration with third-party systems including Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and various accounting and learning platforms.
The platform supports both cloud-hosted and on-premises deployment, with hosting options available through Claris FileMaker Cloud. Schools, colleges, and universities typically work with Claris Partners, a network of independent developers, to design and maintain custom database applications tailored to administrative, academic, and operational needs.
