Custom FileMaker solutions, integrations and cloud infrastructure done right.
Most businesses running on spreadsheets, sticky notes, and "the system Frank built in 2011" don't know FileMaker is the answer. They just know something's broken. Finding those businesses, understanding what they actually need, and building the right solution for them is what we do.
We've spent years in the FileMaker community, working alongside some of the best developers in the platform. However, FileMaker projects rarely live inside FileMaker alone. For most developers, the hardest thing to do is leave the familiarity of FileMaker behind and work outside of the platform. If you ask around the FileMaker community, that's the kind of work we're known for: making programs, databases, web pages, cloud infrastructure and SaaS products communicate with FileMaker.
For the vanilla FileMaker stuff, we don't go it alone. Over the years, we've built a network of trusted FileMaker developers who are exceptional at what they do. You'd never find most of them on your own, because marketing isn't their thing. When a project needs more hands or is a better fit for another developer, we bring in the right person for the job and stay involved to make sure it's done right.
The result: you get a single point of contact who understands your whole problem, backed by a bench of people who are the best in the world at solving specific pieces of it.
Mandelbrot LLC is named after mathematician and IBM fellow emeritus Benoit Mandelbrot (1924-2010). Generally considered the father of fractal geometry, Mandelbrot's intellect and access to IBM's mainframes allowed him to develop mathematics that describe the rough shapes found in nature. The spiky fringes of a bolt of lightning, the jagged coastline of England, the motion of stock markets, and tons of other rough-edged shapes that couldn't be described by Euclidean geometry. Today, his work can be seen in a wide variety of fields, most commonly in computer-generated images of natural phenomena.
The most interesting thing about fractal images is that no matter how far you zoom in, there's no end to the complexity you will see. The complexity is infinite. The only thing that limits how much you can see is the hardware used to render the image. There are a lot of parallels between this infinite depth and what we are able to do with software. There's always another level of finer detail that we can aspire to, or a better way of looking at a problem. The only thing that constrains us is our own field of vision.
