Scambio

Unified Messaging

Unified messaging is a vague term for any communication software that allow to share data amongst various protocols. For instance, the same contact list can be used both for instant messaging and voice call. Most of the time, unified messaging systems are just an illusion build on top of existing protocols.

It is thus not easy to add new protocols as usage patterns evolve.

Scambio uses it's own, very minimalistic protocol to synchronize messages (differed or realtime) to all the user's devices, and gateways to convert these for the outside world.

The Cloud

The cloud is another vague term for remote applications. Relying on a remotely and privately operated cloud for your personal data is a trap, but it's also tempting since it allows to seamlessly share our data between the various devices we use.

Scambio is AGPL. It's a free cloud.
