Notes:
-We’ve had more and more requests to do and show custom reports, settings, sort orders, etc. More and more companies are looking for custom solutions. In a way, they are starting to outgrow “the box” on standard configuration. Plan for that and help fill that custom need.
-Keep things as open as possible… Think about creating basic roads that are flexible and dynamic vs. thousands of mini static paths. I’m not sure how to do this, but maybe allow for special or custom right off the bat. Basically, a build your own type interface. Open transactions, open web service exchange.
-Make a dynamic interface (outward facing) that can call any internal function. The interface needs to by dynamic. The user passes in the function name, the output variable name, and the params. The result is then passed back in xml. Once a request is made, we validate params and then look-up the function and run it internally. Instead of making everything exposed to the outside, make one method exposed to the outside that may consume any internal function.
-On the open API (application programming interface), it would be cool if we allowed open entry SQL for select queries. Basically, get any data you want, just by asking for it. Maybe even a build your own point and click option.
-On web services, keep it very open… it may be just a data feed (in xml) vs. an actual soap based web service.
-In order to control the API, have each function be a setting inside of adilas. Maybe, only add the function if it is allowed. Basically a master list with everything turned off by default. If turned on, record that setting and allow it to be used and consumed.
-Group like functions according to main players or main application types. Help get the user to what they need quickly. Maybe even use the map.
-We need to add options for all states and the ability to calculate state taxes and withholdings. This is for payroll and withholdings.
-Talk to a contact about interns up at USU. He has a lot of knowledge in that area. It may be worth a couple of lunch meetings.
-We need to get some funding so that I can get some help from interns up at the college.
-I may want to build up Moore Digital Ideas, LLC and use that company to do custom web work for LTF, MDI, freelance and custom adilas work.
-There are lots of spin off companies that could help support adilas. They could be web work, custom, training, consulting, etc.
