I think you're on a hot trail, edw519!

An interesting thought is what kinds of standards you can hook into. Perhaps stuff for tax file exporting, calendaring, sales /product channels, etc. The standard formats might be easy to provide and could increase the value of your pitch.

Yes. No need to replicate the horizontals. The verticals are what everyone is clamoring for. Hooks into existing horizontals seems to be the way to go.
