Message: [QUOTE="Neal Culiner, post: 21500, member: 1"] Diedrich, Let's take for example there is a mobile logbook app "Acme Logbook" or even a web logbook "Acme Web Logbook". We have users that use other logbook products but want to use the power of Logbook Pro such as the Analyzer, Reports, or other features they may need not available in a product they use. With the Logbook Pro API the vendor of that app can build an integration where the user could tap a button such as our "Sync" button in our Logbook Pro apps and that mobile data can be sent to the cloud via our service where Logbook Pro Desktop can pick it up. Before we had our Logbook Pro iOS app we recommended our users check out a nice little app called Flogger which had a Logbook Pro integration via google documents and other export methods. Other mobile apps that are standalone have an export or e-mail CSV option and then the user can import that data into Logbook Pro Desktop, their Windows logbook of choice. Again in this scenario any logbook vendor can port their data to Logbook Pro via our service oriented architecture. This is not just mobile, it could be any other logbook product on any platform: Windows, Mac, Web, Mobile. Another case is we don't have BlackBerry support nor intend to produce one. Maybe someone else does, or Windows Phone 7 as an example. We can empower the developer community by allowing all of those other apps out there work with our growing services. We have the most advanced schedule importer ever. It's an extremely complex and expensive system to create and maintain. Any user can use our schedule importer to parse their trips and store to their cloud account. Other apps can leverage our system to then bring that data to their apps over the cloud. We already make export options available such as to TAB and CSV but the cloud system is far less effort and more seamless. We'll start off small and go from there. We have a fantastic infrastructure and architecture we built over the recent years and now it's time to really start to put it to use among other things we have in the works that this was designed for. Does that make sense? [/QUOTE]
