We are thrilled to share that Proof+Geist is the proud recipient of the Claris Innovation Excellence Award (2023) for Ottomatic

We created Ottomatic because our team needed world-class infrastructure and a cloud platform to support our Modern FileMaker work. We couldn’t find an existing hosting offering that fit our vision for professional FileMaker development practices, so we built our own, setting a new benchmark for hosting platforms.

This award celebrates the Claris Partner who demonstrated innovation and competitive differentiation in a product that runs on or enables a better solution on the Claris platform.

Ottomatic enables better solutions on the Claris platform by providing developers and Claris customers with an integrated suite of exceptional tools for performance and monitoring, security, and DevOps.

Managed and monitored

As a managed FileMaker cloud hosting service, Ottomatic reduces stress and lets you sleep better at night by actively monitoring your solutions’ resource utilization and scanning for problems so you don’t have to. Our proprietary monitoring system enables our engineers to swiftly identify and address issues such as server outages or script engine locks. With self-healing capabilities embedded within every plan, Ottomatic ensures quick and semi-automated recovery processes.

High security

Ottomatic is the first FileMaker hosting platform to have SOC 2 compliance, meaning that it meets rigorous internationally accepted standards for security practices and procedures. You can rely on Ottomatic to keep your data secure. 

If your organization requires SOC2 Compliance for your work, partnering with Ottomatic simplifies your own SOC2 reporting requirements, as we’re already an accredited partner. Instead of managing lengthy and onerous vendor security screenings, partnering with an already-SOC2-compliant organization reduces your administrative and reporting burdens significantly.

DevOps practices

Every Ottomatic server comes with OttoFMS already installed. OttoFMS makes simple work of administering FileMaker Server, setting up webhooks, API keys, and much more. We use OttoFMS in tandem with OttoDeploy every day to help us automate and manage the tricky bits of FileMaker devops so that we can focus on building great apps. We got our weekends back with these tools. We hope you can, too.
One more thing. With the Ottomatic Cloud Console and OttoFMS, you can manage both your on-prem and your cloud servers, regardless of where they’re hosted. This means that if you have a complicated deployment strategy – maybe you have some production servers that are on-prem due to institutional constraints, while your dev and staging servers are hosted on Ottomatic – you can view, manage, and deploy to all of your instances in one centralized location. All you need is a free Ottomatic account to get started.

And more to come

We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve created with the Ottomatic platform so far and we’re thrilled to be recognized by Claris for these achievements. That being said, we’re not stopping anytime soon. We rely on our customers and partners to help shape Ottomatic’s future, so please share your thoughts on our community forum about how you’re using Ottomatic and what you’d like to see next!
