Why Desktop Authoring is still favoured over Cloud Based Authoring

📅 Wednesday, July 23, 2025 ⏰ 10am PDT | 💻 Free to Attend

As more tools shift to the cloud, some assume that desktop authoring is on the way out. But for technical writers working in complex environments—especially those using structured content like DITA—the reality is very different.

In this webinar, Bluestream and CIDM explore why desktop tools like oXygen XML Author remain the go-to platform for professional content teams. With input from the Center for Information-Development Management (CIDM), we’ll explore the functional, technical, and strategic reasons why desktop solutions continue to outperform cloud tools in many authoring scenarios.

Cloud & Collaboration: The Best of Both Worlds

Desktop doesn’t mean disconnected. The session will also introduce how oXygen integrates cloud-based review and collaboration, allowing contributors to comment and review content without installing any software—offering flexibility for SMEs, editors, and remote teams.

Join Bluestream for a thought-provoking session, co-hosted with CIDM, exploring why desktop authoring remains the preferred solution for structured content development. This session will unpack the real-world reasons why oXygen remains the tool of choice for expert content creators — from unmatched customization and performance to platform control, security, and speed. You’ll also learn how hybrid models, like Bluestream’s integration of desktop with cloud-based review, offer the best of both worlds.
