Our Story

We’re a small, family-owned company that was started back in 1996 by two brothers from New Hampshire.

Our co-founders, Marc and Keith Larochelle, started Productive Computing as a small computer software firm with a passion for FileMaker. As that passion grew, so did the company. Now, over 25 years later, Productive Computing offers a range of FileMaker products and services with a full team of employees, who are ready to help you today.

From the beginning, our mission has been to help our customers utilize technology to make their operations more organized and efficient. Our trained and certified staff listen to the problems our customers want to resolve or enhancements they want to accomplish. We apply a common sense business approach that provides the highest return on investment.

Productive Computing, Inc. is one of only a few companies in the United States to have earned the highly respected Platinum level membership within the FileMaker Business Alliance and recently won the exclusive FileMaker Business Alliance Partner of the Year award.

Our Skills & Expertise

We understand every client's situation is unique and may need a custom approach. Having worked with customers ranging from the small 5 person office to entire divisions of fortune 500 enterprises, we have seen and done it all.

The common thread among our customers is that they are all looking to resolve an issue with their system or process that is costing them time and money.

We have worked hard to expand our company's products and development services. If you are looking for assistance to solve a single problem or looking for a full-service team to help streamline your business, our team of developers and consultants can help.

Our experience has afforded us the opportunity to work with and learn from many industries over the years. Our team has handled complex integrations with third-party websites and applications, built many solutions from the ground up and created mobile options requiring two-way data exchange.

We start each new project with a business consultation. It is important for your organization and ours to learn the value of what you are trying to accomplish to ensure the solution is cost effective.

With FileMaker, we use the latest, cutting-edge development technologies to ensure your system is designed and built to operate at an optimal level.
