Rick Walsh: The biggest priority we have right now is converting a mobile device into a work platform. I want the user to be able to do his job wherever he is that includes applications. So part of that process is we looking at applications is we’re working across the federal government, as well as the DOD to establish a reciprocity agreement. Such that if the Air Force runs a program and evaluates and vets and test an application that is good enough for the Air Force we want to make sure that its good enough for the Army and I don’t want to start over from scratch.
There are 2 million applications currently available today between Apple and Google and the 2 million in stores. There’s a pretty good chance that there’s something in one of those stores that I can use. I can’t vet or test 2 million applications to figure out what I want to do.
If the Air Force their business in the Navy and the Marine Corps our businesses are similar, you know, some people tell you that they are very different, but were similar. But if they vet it why can’t I use it. So establishing the reciprocity, taking advantage of group vetting I want a crowd vetting, I want to take advantage of the DOJ, I want to take advantage of the federal space, I want to take advantage of the rest of the DOD. Right now I have a 150 apps I want to have 250 apps in the next six months.
JIm Flyzik: Wow. 2 million, I think you just created a cottage industry were going to be companies now saying that go in and their jobs is going to be to look at what you do and select the priority app for your device because they can’t go thru 2 million of them.
Rick Walsh: A real quick anecdote to that is, Colonel Greynolds just left the Army [inaudible 00:01:45]. He’s got a four-year-old and a six-year-old. There is a tutorial app for an IOS device that teaches a four-year-old how to develop apps.
JIm Flyzik: Wow.
Rick Walsh: So his kids at four years old are learning how to write apps for an IOS device.
JIm Flyzik: Yeah.
Rick Walsh: It transfers to android, but the idea that they can think logically and create this. It’s just there so the kid’s not today’s kids but I’m talking about tomorrows kids are developing apps at five to six years old.
