ABOUT RGC DATA

FileMaker roots. Modern delivery. Long-term thinking.

RGC Data helps organizations keep the strengths of FileMaker while extending their systems to the web, WordPress, native mobile apps, and the wider software ecosystem.

RGC DATA

We work at the boundaries.

Our best projects are the ones where business knowledge already lives in FileMaker—but customers, staff, or partner systems need a better way to reach it.

OUR APPROACH

Start with the workflow, then choose the technology.

RGC Data began with FileMaker application development and still treats the FileMaker solution as the operational heart of many projects. We learn how the organization works, preserve the business logic that matters, and improve the places where users are slowed down.

From there, we build the right experience around it: a refined FileMaker interface, a WordPress site connected to live data, a secure client portal, a mobile app, or an integration service that keeps several platforms synchronized.

The goal is not to make the architecture look impressive. The goal is to make the system useful, dependable, and easier to own.

THE TEAM

Small enough to stay close to the work.

Direct collaboration matters. The people planning the architecture are also involved in building, testing, and supporting it.

HOW WE THINK

A few principles guide every build.

They keep technology decisions tied to the people who will live with the system after launch.

Respect what already works

Modernization should preserve valuable business knowledge, not erase it for novelty.

Design for ownership

Clear boundaries, documentation, and maintainable code matter long after the first release.

Be honest about tradeoffs

FileMaker is an excellent tool—but the right architecture sometimes combines it with other platforms.

Solve the actual problem

A simpler, reliable workflow beats an impressive system that people cannot use.
