This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I attempts to unify electronic communications into a single interface. Which, to date, has been difficult to achieve with existing technology. When each new communications modality results in a new "inbox," it only makes the situation worse. Social networks, some with over 200 million users, are the most egregious example, attempting to lock users into using only their site to access social networking messages (essentially proprietary captive email). The problem intended to be solve in the proposed project is to integrate a broad range of message modalities from disparate, often proprietary, and blocked sources into an integrated solution. In the current effort, the architected server will channel all incoming social networking messages through published APIs and other means.Rocketvox's target markets are the 75 million "Millennials" and the 30 million Mobile Professionals in the U.S. - mobile, technically savvy, heavy users of multiple modes of communication, highly social, experimental, and interested in simplicity. These users frequently are required to use over a dozen different modes of communication on a daily basis. Each mode may require a different application which requires they learn each application and they must maintain them all on their computers. Further, studies show great time lost and cognitive dissonance when having to constantly change from one client to another. Rocketvox is building a comprehensive, cross-platform, integrated ecommunications. If successful, the solution will markedly simplify the management of our digital lives.

小型企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段试图将电子通信统一到一个单一的界面。迄今为止，这在现有技术下是难以实现的。当每一种新的通信方式都导致一个新的“收件箱”时，它只会使情况变得更糟。社交网络，有些拥有超过2亿用户，是最令人震惊的例子，试图锁定用户只能使用他们的网站访问社交网络消息（基本上是专有的俘虏电子邮件）。在建议的项目中要解决的问题是将来自不同的、通常是专有的和阻塞的源的广泛的消息模态集成到集成的解决方案中。 Rocketvox的目标市场是美国的7500万“千禧一代”和3000万移动的专业人士--移动的、精通技术、多种通信模式的重度用户、高度社交、实验性和对简单感兴趣。这些用户经常需要每天使用十几种不同的通信模式。每种模式可能需要不同的应用程序，这需要他们学习每种应用程序，并且必须在计算机上维护它们。此外，研究表明，当不得不不断地从一个客户到另一个客户时，会损失大量的时间和认知失调。Rocketvox正在建立一个全面的，跨平台的，集成的电子商务平台。 如果成功，该解决方案将大大简化我们的数字生活管理。
