How it Works

• HTTP request
• Security
• Time
• User Information
• PIN

19
Benefits of this approach

• Simple HTTP request
• We use the PIN as the common link to pass back
  and forth between applications
• Applications and Data are separate
• Less need to coordinate upgrades/ changes to
  applications
• Users dont know it is a different website /
  server

20
Lessons Learned

• Integration applications should not be reliant
  on other side being available.
• All applications change try to put together an
  environment which upgrades can be done
  independently
• Introduction of new content to the spatially
  challenged should use the KISS principle
• Always remember the target audience
• Nothing beats having good people to work with
