Company Profile

Protocol Technologies Group LLC is working on developing a better tool for sharing documents based on work previously sponsored by the Air Force and the Army to develop “smarter” operations orders and streamline mission planning and coordination. Sharing documents across the net with a group of people is simply painful, time-consuming, and confusing. When email is used, we find ourselves trying to distribute changes and track down the latest copy of a document. When a central service – be it Google Docs, BaseCamp, or whatever – is used, we find ourselves tethered to a cloud service — not really helpful if we’re sitting on an airplane or working in a remote area with poor connectivity. The solution to this problem are Smart Notebooks, shared documents that stay synchronized across the net. Each person has their own copy of a document which “talk to each other” using a peer-to-peer protocol. When you edit your copy, everyone else sees the change on their copy. Unlike email attachments, there’s no need to search for the most recent copy of document. Unlike a Google Doc, everyone has their own copy – allowing for private notes and working offline. All of this using standard web browsers, email, and RSS – no new software to install, no accounts to configure on services running in the cloud.
