Cloud Amber has added a non-erasable audit trail feature to the Argonaut product family. Integrated in to all elements of Argonaut, the audit trail logs all changes made to any aspect of the system and records all commands sent. The comprehensive audit trail includes time, date, device changed, user name, etc. These can be retained for a configurable period of time or indefinitely. This allows anyone to see who changed what and when. All data can be reported on, printed, queried and analysed as required.

Cloud Amber was asked by the UDG on our thoughts for the future of UTMC. In summary, our feeling is that the standard is arcane, forgotten by the IT industry, inherently hard to integrate, slow, un-scalable, difficult to share data and failed to achieve its objectives in the beginning. It is supported by companies with deep rooted vested interests in keeping barriers to entry high, integration hard and the standard as loose and woolly as possible. Compliance is a joke and there is no will to change. Read on to find out why.

Cloud Amber hosted its first user group in Pool during June and during the feedback session it was felt that were common areas of interest and joint working practices that could be shared across all users. To this end it was agreed that Cloud Amber would organise separate Workshops for Argonaut and Voyager.
One of the most important issues raised at the User Group in Dorset was the need for a discussion space for Users. We have responded to this by creating a User Group portal. The site will act as a forum for Users as well as a space where we can post updates and solutions.
The Cloud Amber first user Group was held on 24th and 25th June at The Thistle Hotel in Poole overlooking the quay. We were incredibly lucky with the weather which was hot and bright for the two days.
