Hello all,
I 'll take a stab and offer opinion regarding the questions Joe has posed.
Yes. There are regions of our great state where exchanging voluminous content is a challenge. These conditions warrant the pre- population of the afield technology before going afield and the offloading of data collected afield as soon as connectivity is re-acquired. Web based solutions alone are unlikely to be a benefit.
Yes. In areas where there is reliable connectivity then near real time content pull/push can provide the opportunity for efficiency.
Establishing business practices that cover the range of connectivity conditions likely to be encountered permits the use of the web when available and successful afield operations even when it isn't.
Scaling (Aka targeting) GIS services for multiple user platform types is one example of a method used to conserve bandwidth/ limit throughput.
Sincerely,
Todd

> "Cloud computing is an ideal approach for the mobile and highly collaborative work environments of GIS professionals, which frequently entail the communication and analysis of detailed information - often in the field. High volumes of documents including GIS maps, satellite photos, spreadsheets and PDFs can be stored online or "in the cloud", where they can be easily downloaded, edited and uploaded. This can be critical to enabling an efficient workflow as project teams can leverage the cloud to share information over the duration of the project."
