Claris International Inc., Apple subsidiary and creator of the world's leading 
Workplace Innovation Platform, today launched the invite-only Beta program of 
Claris Connect. First unveiled to attendees at the 2019 Claris Developers' 
Conference, Claris Connect is an integration and workflows service designed to 
drive digital transformation for small and mid-market businesses. The Claris 
Connect service provides customers with an intuitive interface for connecting 
apps and automating workflows, saving them from the task of building 
custom-built, backend integrations.

"There have never been any limits on what our developers can create with Claris 
FileMaker, which is why we are widely deployed by everyone from SMBs to Fortune 
100 companies. That said, the speed of digital transformation happening in 
every industry demands hyper-agility and the ability to go from idea to 
workflow in minutes. Claris Connect drives this forward," said Brad Freitag, 
CEO of Claris International, Inc.

Designed to tap into the ever-expanding PaaS market, Claris Connect removes the 
need for custom coding and automatically handles authentication, authorization, 
monitoring, versioning, error handling and much more. This powerful 
event-driven workflow automation tool handles all of the backend data 
infrastructure for Claris developers, and features seamless connections and 
experiences across both cloud and on-premise apps. With an easy-to-use 
graphical interface, developers can create workflows as simple or as complex as 
their needs, simply by stitching together third party services.

"Claris Connect represents a significant leap forward for problem solvers to 
create better outcomes," said Srini Gurrapu, vice president of product 
management and design. "With Claris Connect, simplicity and power no longer 
have to be a tradeoff. Whether you are a citizen developer or pro developer, 
Claris Connect makes workflow automation easy and powerful."

This new service is the result of Claris' acquisition of Stamplay, a 500 
Startups company founded by Giuliano Iacobelli, now a lead project manager for 
Claris Connect. 

The Claris Connect service is available in Beta now, and interested customers 
can visit www.claris.com/r/join-claris-connect.html to request access, with 
full public availability slated for early 2020.
