Loose thoughts for an App Strategy !

Strategy loose thoughts Native for internals and HTML 5 for externals ! - Parliament still decides equipment for MP’s and staff ?

Strategy loose thoughts Separate APPs for separate user groups ! - We have to take care quite a number of APPs ? - We are ready to deliver support for public too ?

Strategy loose thoughts We are prepared to feed a lot of external APPs - Be prepared to concentrate on delivering data ? - We are now synchronizers, parallel to Exchange / Outlook ?

Strategy loose thoughts We don’t care if APPs are quite the same ! - A matter of individual taste among MPs ? - ‘Bring-Your-Own-APP’ principle

Strategy loose thoughts Do not compete APP Complexes ! - We can’t beat them in features? - The Social Dimension / interaction (Facebook) in focus?

Strategy loose thoughts We are ready to support Party Groups as well ! - Party Groups need meeting APPs too ! - Our common infrastructure will be rewarded ? - Manual feed is an important supplement to the automated ?

Thanks
