Mandelbrot LLC is a custom application development firm specializing in FileMaker integrations based in the West tower of the historic Marina City complex in Chicago, IL. At Mandelbrot LLC, we not only strive to quickly and accurately solve our client’s immediate FileMaker application needs but also approach each client in a consultative manner, digging into their customer data to find opportunities where leveraging cutting edge technologies can transform their relationships. By relying on our skills to develop the right solution, our clients are able to provide far greater value to their customers and make their organizations far more nimble.
Mandelbrot LLC is named after mathematician and IBM fellow emeritus Benoit Mandelbrot (1924-2010). During his lifetime, Mandelbrot’s intellect and access to IBM’s mainframes allowed him to develop mathematics that describe the rough shapes found in nature (i.e. bolts of lightning), the motion of stock markets and hundreds of other applications. Today, his work can be seen in a wide variety of fields, most commonly in computer generated images of natural phenomena.
Just like every one of those phenomena, every client is different and faces a set of complex challenges that are not always easily understood. At Mandelbrot LLC, we take a data driven, consultative approach at helping clients extend the reach and productivity of their FileMaker solutions.
As a firm that caters to FileMaker developers and users alike, many of our clients have solutions up and running but just don’t have the energy, time or expertise required to get what they could out of some of the more cutting edge technologies that are more difficult to integrate into FileMaker.
The process of building these technologies into your solutions is simple. It all begins with a broad consultation where we assess your most urgent obstacles. Second, we prioritize the integrations to and create a delivery timeline. We then write the code to integrate FileMaker with outside services and/or applications to extend the capabilities of your solution (AWS, Twilio, etc). After testing, we deploy your new tools/integrations and provide any ongoing support you need to make sure these new solutions work seamlessly.
The most interesting part of a fractal image is that its complexity is truly infinite. You can zoom into one as far as you like but it never loses the rough-edged complexity of the original image. At Mandelbrot LLC, we don’t just embrace complexity, we actively seek it. Give us a look into the depths of your data and we will create the solutions that will drive your organization into the future.
“Georg Cantor claimed the essence of mathematics lies in its freedom. But mathematicians do not pick problems from thin air for the pleasure of solving them. To the contrary, a mark of greatness resides in the ability to identify the most interesting problems in the framework of what is already known.”
Benoit Mandelbrot – The Fractalist, 2012
