RE: Applications and constant connection
Our company is looking for a solution to a problem we are sure is very common - We have various documents stored within our application on our internet server - our employees connect to the application to access these documents - the problem is... sometimes our employees are at client sites that do not have internet connection and therefore cannot access these documents, which makes it very hard to conduct our business sometimes we would appreciate your thoughts on any possible solutions! Whilst this is completely off topic. Have you considered giving your off-site employees 3G based mobile internet? I simply plug in my phone and use it as a 3G modem when needed giving full mobile broadband goodness. Paul ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: Applications and constant connection
depending where you and your clients are located, you may also use one of the 'pocket wi-fi' services like verizon's wireless MiFi: http://news.digitaltrends.com/news-article/19896/verizon-wireless-mifi-lets-wi-fi-devices-tap-3g-connectivity another option is to just issue all your employees with a usb flash drive with all the docs on it :) yet another option is to pitch this requirement to online storage companies (i.e. Dropbox and the like) and wait until they develop a corporate solution which allows companies to create accounts for employees, assign and maintain per-user privileges/access rights and has an api to access it remotely for uploading new files... hmm... not a bad idea, eh?

Re: Applications and constant connection
thanks for your replies the 3G seems the best way to go and found there are now 3G/GPRS USB data cards, so this is a combination of both your suggestions :) thanks for your help Hi Our company is looking for a solution to a problem we are sure is very common - We have various documents stored within our application on our internet server - our employees connect to the application to access these documents - the problem is... sometimes our employees are at client sites that do not have internet connection and therefore cannot access these documents, which makes it very hard to conduct our business sometimes we would appreciate your thoughts on any possible solutions! thanks richard ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: Applications and constant connection
You might also take a look at developing an Air application that understands when it is online/offline. When the app is online, have it sync the remote document store to the local document store. When it is offline, just run off of whatever is in the local document store.
