Well, it's actually its old one: Claris. And so, Apple placed those products and a handful of others, including Microsoft Office competitor AppleWorks, under the umbrella of Claris, a new subsidiary. The idea was ostensibly to maintain the illusion that Apple wasn't competing directly with its community of developers.
