# What is PYBOSSA?

PYBOSSA is a technology built by [Scifabric](https://scifabric.com), for crowdsourcing or citizen science platforms.

PYBOSSA is an extremely flexible and versatile technology with a multitude of applications that

adapt to each specific case facilitating many of the daily tasks that take place in research

environments such as museums, art galleries, heritage institutions, libraries of any kind, market

research companies, hospitals, universities and all those organisations that manage data or require

information from their customers/users -such as airports, shopping malls, banks, hotel chains, etc.

PYBOSSA’s simplicity consists in its easy adjustment to any areas using any of the available

templates, this way every customer can then adapt it to their own needs.

PYBOSSA integrates with other data collection products such as Amazon S3, Twitter, Youtube,

Google Spreadsheets, Flickr, Raspberry Pi, etc. Through all these integrations

PYBOSSA allows data capture for further analysis made by users in a transparent and easy way.

PYBOSSA was inspired by the [BOSSA](http://bossa.berkeley.edu/) crowdsourcing engine but is written in

python (hence the name!). It can be used for any distributed tasks project

but was initially developed to help scientists and other researchers

crowd-source human problem-solving skills!
