The document discusses the need for PHP bindings to the Intuit IPP/IDS API to allow PHP applications like Drupal, WordPress, and WHMCS to integrate with and share QuickBooks data. It notes that the existing Web Connector is a rough experience to develop and support. The solution presented is an open-source PHP DevKit for IPP/IDS released on Intuit's code.intuit.com to standardize communication with QuickBooks and simplify the development process for PHP apps. A demo of the PHP DevKit is provided.

Big Picture
 PHP isn't getting any IPP/IDS love!
 HUGE number of PHP apps out there
which are unable to use IPP/IDS due to
a lack of PHP bindings to IPP/IDS.
 Drupal
 WordPress
 Wikipedia
 WHMCS
 ModernBill
 etc. etc. etc.

This is a very painful
problem
 Without PHP bindings for IPP/IDS, PHP
developers are forced to turn to the Web
Connector, which is:
 Rough end-user experience
 Difficult to develop for
 Difficult to support
 IPP/IDS is the future!
 Standardizes communication with QuickBooks
 Intuit handles the complicated sync process!
 Fast and easy to develop against

Customer opportunity
 Customer problems:
 PHP apps that can't easily share
QuickBooks data
 Double-entry of data
 Federation of existing PHP applications
 Customer solution:
 PHP integration via IPP/IDS is an Intuit-
supported way to fix these issues.

5. IPP CloudJam
Solution
 Implemented (or at least started to
implement) PHP 5.x bindings for
IPP/IDS!
 Released it as open-source to
code.intuit.com!
 Follows (or will soon) the same
standards and interface as the other
IPP DevKits!
