Watch Out Salesforce. Intuit Opens Up QuickBase To Developers

Intuit wants in on the race to become the platform for enterprise apps in the cloud. It is opening up QuickBase to developers who want to build new hosted Web applications and businesses on top of it. QuickBase has been around for eight years and has amassed 250,000 users. At its core is an online database around which companies can create their own customized enterprise apps for things like project management or issue tracking. Now developers can join the QuickBase beta to develop their own enterprise apps on Intuit’s infrastructure. Intuit will host the apps, take care of the billing, and allow developers to charge whatever they want.

Developers will get access to QuickBase via APIs to use as a foundation for their apps, and they also get hooks into QuickBooks, Intuit’s accounting software that is used by nearly 25 million individuals in 3.6 million businesses in the U.S. alone. Developers will be able to build apps using Adobe Flex and the open-source Eclipse development environment.

Now that KML is an accepted open standard, not controlled by any single private company, there's all the more reason for any organization to publish its geographic data in KML.
On face it appears that the opening of KML is a move intended to help the whole mapping world grow, with the assumption that market leader Google will only benefit from this overall growth of the sector.
