Author-It seems to do just that, claiming that this whole thing runs on the
cloud thusly:
"Author-it Cloud brings you all of the power of Author-it delivered,
"On-Demand" over the Internet. Nowhere else will you find an end-to-end
Enterprise Authoring Platform on the Cloud built from the ground up, by one
company."
I currently have a love/hate relationship with my legacy non-cloud version
of Author-It. No idea how it would work running from a browser. I do have
some problems with space on my MySQL server, so I could see an advantage of
getting more space via the cloud instead of whining to my Ops department
for more local space.
Presumably, you get to pay for this convenience, though...
