Getting data from web sources is the trend in FileMaker (and all other languages) these days. With the popularity and breadth of web services available to your clients, it's no wonder they need it. The consolidation service is valuable, but it is a large company and suffers from the large company curse: It's not easy for them to customize for individual customers, which opens a door for enterprising developers willing to learn. That means you need to find ways to make FileMaker talk to the service.
