For one of our OpenC clients, we have collected almost one thousand (!) Studio records, yet. Based on this experience, I can confidently say that Claris Studio can be applied at a large scale. This was a key point in my presentation at Apple Battersea on 19th June 2025. You can find my slide deck here.
Exquisite group of Claris Partners
I felt proud and honoured to have the opportunity to share my Studio experiences with the group of almost 50 exquisite Claris Partners.
I learned some valuable things from the questions that were asked during my session, and afterwards in 1-on-1 chats. For example the comment of HOnza: Take into account the maximum length of a URL web browser allow, when you try to Base64-encode a lot of JSON-data to create a pre-filled Studio Form View.
Learning from other Battersea sessions
And I got great value out of the other sessions and dialogues as well, both during the morning, and in the afternoon. More than I can mention here:
- Nicolas showed us quite a few academic papers about artificial intelligence, some of them from Apple. He gave us food for thought about the quality of A.I. results, and the growing importance the agentic model.
- Evelyn showed us the important of a method with clear thinking steps, to apply in FileMaker-projects.
- Kushel gave us a some insight in the underlying modular architecture of the Studio platform.
- And don’t forget the very cool feature: Git- and Github-integration with the new version of InspectorPro.
During drinks, my learning process continued. Mark explained to me how Claris and Claris partners deliver a lot of value to the US education market with Apple School Manager and how this is now translated to the European education market. I think this is a beautiful example of the combined power of Apple, Claris and Claris partners. I believe this is also a win if you look at it from a compliance perspective.
Also, Arjan shared a few good ideas about how we can collaborate on leads and sales opportunities with Claris and partners.
Claris Studio
At OpenC we are convinced that Claris Studio is already a strong part of the future of Claris and the Claris platform. We understand that the Studio-platform is a huge, huge undertaking. So we want to encourage Claris to keep up the good work and double down on the Studio platform!
