After leaving StyleWare and creating the product later known as ClarisWorks and AppleWorks, Bob Hearn, Scott Holdaway joined Tom Hoke, Scott Lindsey, Bruce Q. Hammond, and Carl Grice who also worked at Apple Computer's Claris division and formed Gobe Software, Inc with the notion to create a next-generation integrated office suite similar to ClarisWorks, but for the BeOS platform.
The original Macintosh and Windows versions were similar, until 3COM purchased the Claris Organizer (a Mac-only product), from Claris and rebranded it as Palm Desktop 2.
When Apple stopped bundling MacWrite, ownership was transferred to Claris, so developers could not distribute it on their programs' installation floppy disks.

In addition, DeMartino initiated AFI-related sponsorships with Adobe Systems Systems), Radius, Macromedia, Claris, Avid Technology, Sony, and many others, establishing the AFI as the "go-to" place to use new media production tools.
