Author-it Live – Is the future Cloud computing?
Distributed client-server applications
Amanda Caley will be test-driving ‘Author-it Live’ at the UK Technical Communication Conference on the 23rd and 24th of September 2009.
Distributed systems and web applications are becoming more and more common-place as people demand the flexibility of ‘anytime, anywhere’ access to their applications and data.
This session explores the advantages and disadvantages of client-server applications as Team Chameleon take a look at Author-it Live, a web-based authoring, content management and publishing solution.

Forrester Research on Monday released a report written by James Staten, an IT operations and infrastructure analyst, saying that cloud computing does not meet the needs of large businesses. But that could be only temporary.
The services offered by a new crop of hosting providers, such as Amazon Web Services, are where the overall hosting market is going, according to Staten.
“Cloud computing looks very much like the instantiation of many vendors’ visions of the data center of the future; it’s an abstracted, fabric-based infrastructure that enables dynamic movement, growth, and protection of services that is billed like a utility. It also has all the earmarks of a disruptive innovation: It is enterprise technology packaged to best fit the needs of small businesses and start-ups–not the enterprise,” he wrote.
