I had stepped away from my computer (sorry!) - to answer your questions:

YES - it's a real pain to deal with all the different interfaces and techniques required to obtain the data that you need.

However, as part of implementing Akido, we handle all of the integration and maintenance for you (it's our expertise ;) )

We can implement on an on-site Virtual Machine, or as a cloud implementation (our preference, of course).

Our cost structure is flexible at the moment (so we should talk), but it's worth saying that we're a low-cost solution!
