We want to know your needs to better provide you with the right information.
Richard Carlton Consulting (RCC) offers potential new customers a FREE consultation with a RCC Senior Engineer. Consultation is preparation and evaluation for a development project (but no actual work on your solution). The goal of the consultation is to better understand the customers needs and to be able to provide a preliminary proposal for the customer's review.
Depending upon the depth of the project, RCC may only be able to provide a cursory outline of the project, rather than a financial estimate or proposal. In such cases RCC will map out a "discovery phase" which can be used to create a proposal with sufficient detail as to include a financial estimate.
During the one-hour consultation, RCC will typically perform a basic check of the customer's database(s), looking for gross deficiencies of which the customer is unaware. Often RCC must work to identify these deficiencies that are left by other consultants and IT staff, who are not sufficiently skilled in database management, or best practices.
RCC has an in-house server team that can assist in server setup and installation. They are also available to chat with potential customers or their IT teams on recommended tech specs, backups, and more.
It feels like new Agentic AI coding tools are being released each week and Claris will even be releasing some in late 2026. RCC hosted a paid-intensive workshop in July 2026 that started at the very basic level and built attendees to more advanced, practical workflows.

Our internal staff are available to help continue the conversation and training with attendees. If you don't want to learn it all yourself, our staff can also help add AI capabilities to your FileMaker database for you as well. A complimentary Consultation is the best place to start to see what is available to you this week that can best improve your workflows within your industry.
