FileMaker Inc. is changing their name back to Claris because they're
going to re-start doing more than just the FileMaker Pro database
application.
Apple Subsidiary FileMaker Returns to 1980s Name Claris
Following Stamplay Acquisition
-------------------------------------------------------
Apple subsidiary FileMaker today announced it has returned
to its original name Claris from the late 1980s.
Claris was spun off as an Apple subsidiary in 1986 while
John Sculley was Apple CEO. At the time, it was known for
several programs such as MacWrite, MacPaint, MacDraw, and
FileMaker, but the company eventually began to focus
solely on FileMaker, leading it to be renamed FileMaker
in 1998.
Now, the company plans to expand its portfolio again,
leading it to readopt the Claris name. FileMaker Pro will
remain one of its offerings.
The rename coincides with FileMaker acquiring Italian
startup Stamplay and renaming it Claris Connect. The
API-based development platform enables users to build
workflows that connect cloud services, including Dropbox,
Slack, Salesforce, and more. In March, it was reported
that Apple had acquired Stamplay.
