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.

"Immediate access to information is expected by people today, thus we wanted to make it easy for everybody, from an individual blogger to a web service provider, to automatically have mobile access to website content," said Dieter May, vice president and head of Nokia Emerging Business Unit.
"We wanted WidSets (www.widsets.com) to be fun to use, so we based the user interface on great-looking and dynamic mini-applications called widgets that automatically receive updates from websites that people normally visit several times a day," May said. "Whenever the information on a community, blog, or news service is updated, the widget notifies the user about it, so that the information can be viewed right away, regardless of where the user is located. And if users can't find their favourite Internet service on WidSets, they can easily create and publish widgets themselves, and share the content with others."
For end users WidSets delivers content from websites of their choice direct to their java-enabled cellphones using RSS. Bloggers can "easily turn [a] blog RSS feed into a mobile version that can reach readers when and where they need it most - on the go," according to Nokia. Site owners can "create and publish a mobile widget for [a] website with just a few clicks [making] it easy for visitors...to get easy access...from their cell phones."
