-- Acquisition of Stamplay leads to new cloud service offering for community of

In addition, the company announced its acquisition of Stamplay, a service that 
helps businesses of all sizes integrate data from third-party cloud services 
such as Box, DocuSign, and others into their apps. Claris has fully integrated 
this service and unveiled a new offering, Claris Connect. This service will 
provide customers with an intuitive interface for automating workflows across 
cloud-based services, saving them from the task of building custom-built, 
backend integrations. The Claris Connect team will continue to be led by former 
Stamplay CEO, Giuliano Iacobelli. 

"Claris stems from the Latin root 'clarus,' which means 'clear, bright and 
shining,'" said Brad Freitag, Claris CEO.  "Nothing better encapsulates the 
company's mission: to empower the problem-solver with smart solutions that work 
for their business. By extending the reach of our platform as a modern, 
multi-faceted, and powerful merger of on-premises custom apps and third-party 
services, our customers can streamline their business processes across the 
cloud services that they use every day." 

Mr. Freitag was appointed FileMaker CEO in March after six years with the 
company in global sales. He has set an ambitious strategy to multiply the 
company's customer base over the next three years. By extending the platform as 
a modern combination of custom apps and third-party cloud services, customers 
can now solve problems faster and build applications that have no limits on 
their capabilities.

In 1986, Claris began as an Apple subsidiary. In 1998, the company was renamed 
as FileMaker, Inc., focusing on its flagship product. FileMaker, Inc. has since 
grown to more than 50,000 customers and more than 1 million end-users, while 
consistently profitable for 80+ quarters.

Claris Connect will be available by invitation this fall and available for 
wider distribution in 2020. To learn more about Claris, and its offerings,
