One of the brilliant aspects of  FileMaker as an application is that it can be shaped, molded and/or morphed into a solution that meets the needs of countless companies, across a myriad of industries. At its most fundamental level, FileMaker is what you make of it; it serves as the foundational building block to your solution.

Most would agree a strong foundation is an absolutely essential facet to building a robust solution. But often times the key to getting your solution to "sing" isn't about FileMaker at all. It's implementing products that work with FileMaker to expand its structural capabilities.

These products, better known as plug-ins, have a broad range of applications - integration, migration, separation, optimization, oversight, security, etc- the list is ever changing and expanding to meet the needs of the community.

Taking our cue from The Everything Reference this newly opened section of the FMPug Resource Directory outlines a host of manufacturers who develop and maintain some of the most widely utilized plug-ins in the FileMaker industry. It's through these companies (and your brilliant skills as a developer) that your clients' wish list can become a reality. Instead of the generic listing by plug-in name or company we decided to use the format that has been so successful in The Everything Reference and break the plug-ins down by category. So if you are looking for an audit logging, credit card processing,  email sending , quickbooks linking, remote script triggering plug-in... we have you covered.

All listings include; Supported Platform, FileMaker Version Support, Server Side Compatibility, Leopard Compatibility & Vista Compatibility. Also if the vendor is part of the FMPug discount program you will see a "Save" tag and in the run-up to Devcon '08 we have listed all vendors that will be present in the showcase. More data is being added to include detailed product description, screenshots (if applicable).

[ A CALL TO PLUG-IN MANUFACTURERS ]

Are you updating your product line for DevCon '08? Are you planning on releasing new plug-ins at DevCon '08? We are working on The Everything Reference Edition 2 for release at DevCon '08 and want to ensure we have the most up to date product information available. Please get in touch if you are not listed in the plug-in directory or if you are making changes.

Cheers
