Construction needs cloud flexibility
Australia’s embattled construction sector could benefit from cloud based information systems that can be switched on and off in lockstep with individual projects – with the exception of those organisations based in remote areas like the Kimberleys.

New fast loading Adobe Acrobat adds web conferencing

In addition, Acrobat 8, to be announced today, is said to be significantly faster loading, one of the main complaints with previous versions.
Acrobat is widely used by corporations to transform paper-based documents and documents that would normally be stored on paper into a non-editable digital format called PDF (portable document format) that is a true representation of the original.
Acrobat is used widely by businesses to produce web-based corporate information collateral, such as whitepapers, manuals, company announcements and marketing materials.
The Acrobat reader can be freely downloaded but Adobe charges for the document creation software.
Since PDF has become a defacto standard for document storage, wordprocessor developers, such as Microsoft and the Open Source software community have moved to include features that will enable users to save their documents in PDF format.
The Open Source product Open Office.org 2.0 already has a save as PDF function for documents created with its word processor. Microsoft is also moving to have a save to PDF feature included in its upcoming Office 2007 product, despite opposition from Adobe.
Adobe believes its will retain its corporate customers, despite the entry of Microsoft into the PDF creation market, because of the superior functionality of its document creation software. Lending weight to that argument is the fact that the free PDF creation feature of Open Office.org has failed to make a dent in Adobe's market. However, Microsoft is a different proposition.
