I should have been clearer, it's between two apps that we host internally - applications on our own intranet cannot talk to each other. If you want to get any data out of either of these apps to the world, you need to do a manual export and email/usb which would obviously flag

How much does the involvement of a bank of fax machines complicate things?

At my work there are a large contingent of people who essentially do manual data copying between legacy programs (govt), because the tech debt is so large that we can't figure out a way to plug these things together. Excited for tools like this to eventually act as a layer that can run over these sort of problems, as bizarre a solution as it is from a compute perspective

I have had similar thoughts lately, I currently work in govt in a job that isvery secure but isn't everything it could be. The thing that puts me off it is the unknowns around generative AI over the next few years - the cost of creating software is plummeting and the barriers to entry are dropping, language translation tools are going to enable a lot of high quality international developers (read: India) to better compete for remote work. Of course the flip side is a big increase in demand when there are lower costs, maybe it's the best time to do it.
