About Filemaker and Apple

RealXS decided to redevelop its insurance software in 2020 using Claris FilemakerPRO software.

Relational database solutions
Apple and FileMaker have a historical relationship dating back to 1987, when FileMaker was founded. FileMaker is a software company focused on developing relational database solutions.

Apple
Initially operating as an independent company, FileMaker Inc. became a subsidiary of Apple Inc. in 1998.
Since the acquisition, FileMaker has worked closely with Apple to provide integration and compatibility with Apple's products and technologies.

Windows / MacOS/iOS
FileMaker software is available for both Windows and Mac users, but has a strong emphasis on macOS and iOS.

FileMaker Pro
FileMaker Pro, the company's flagship product, allows users to create and manage custom databases for a variety of purposes, including organising data, developing enterprise applications and creating custom solutions.

The collaboration between Apple and FileMaker has led to synergies between the two companies' technologies. FileMaker software uses Apple's interface design principles and integrates well with other Apple products and services, such as iCloud, Siri, AppleScript and iOS devices. This has made FileMaker a popular choice for developers and companies working in the Apple ecosystem who need powerful database solutions.

Claris International
In August 2019, Filemaker Inc changed its name to Claris International Inc, rebranding FileMaker as Claris FileMaker.

Despite this name change, the company remains closely associated with Apple and the collaboration between the two companies continues.
