FileMaker Developers and Claris Partner Since 1996
The Tricon Group is a Claris Partner that has built, supported and licensed custom FileMaker systems since 1996. Our certified Claris developers design software around how your business works, support existing systems built by others, and keep users and servers running. We are based near Philadelphia and work with clients across the US.
What we do
As far as FileMaker goes, we do three things, and have done them well for decades.
Custom FileMaker development
We build FileMaker apps around the way your team already works: job tracking, scheduling, reporting, automated emails and the reports you currently build by hand in Excel. New builds, rebuilds of old systems, and changes to software you already own.

FileMaker support and maintenance
We act as your FileMaker department, or as an extra pair of hands for your IT team. That covers fixes, planned improvements, FileMaker Server upkeep and systems built by a developer who is no longer around.

Claris FileMaker licensing
As a Claris Partner and reseller, we quote, buy and renew your Claris licenses, put you on the right plan, and remind you before renewal dates.

Why clients choose The Tricon Group
Decades of FileMaker depth
We have worked in FileMaker since 1996. The team holds Claris certifications at Expert level in FileMaker app development and FileMaker Server administration.

Partnerships, not projects
