| The motivation for developing Auto Book was to **avoid vendor lock-in** in cloud-based systems. Cloud-systems also can be a nuisance to suppliers as every client tends to use a different system. Auto Book instead provides a system for exchanging data based on email, which everyone uses anyway and of course is free of cost. | The motivation for developing Auto Book was to **avoid vendor lock-in** in cloud-based systems.

| The data to be extracted are defined by **Extraction Schemes**, plain-text files containing RegEx patterns that can be exchanged between parties. In this way, using identical Extraction Schemes, both the sender and recipient of purchase orders will automatically store identical sets of data in their respective Databases, which is beneficial as it makes reviewing incoming invoices easy. | The data to be extracted are defined by **Extraction Schemes**, plain-text files containing RegEx patterns that can be exchanged between parties.

| Customized Extraction Schemes also allow the recipient of data to employ Auto Book **unilaterally** – as long as the sender transmits the information in a consistent format, the recipient can create a suitable Extraction Scheme and automatically extract and store the relevant data even if the sender is not using Auto Book. | Customized Extraction Schemes also allow the recipient of data to employ Auto Book **unilaterally** – as long as the sender transmits the information in a consistent format, the recipient can create a suitable Extraction Scheme and automatically extract and store the relevant data even if the sender is not using Auto Book. | ||
