We are facing a revolution

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.

Modern 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.
