Static web publish - what can't you do in MooD 16?
As discussed on the MooD Enterprise v16 b45 launch webinar, we're keen to understand the key use cases which the static publish feature in MooD 15 is supporting.
The purpose of this post is to identify where current MooD v16 functionality is preventing you upgrading from MooD Enterprise v15 to v16.
At the moment we have a variety of features that can be used for offline deployments of information:
- MooD Active Enterprise (MAE)
- MS PowerPoint exports
- MS Excel exports
- Document Synchronizer (MS Word and PDF exports)
If you can, please describe any use case for which you are reliant on static web publication in MooD, which could not be satisfied through a combination of the above features.
We will use the information to inform the future direction of Mood Enterprise (the product roadmap).

We would like to be able to provide to prospective customers and partners (i.e. outside of our organisation) a navigable, interactive representation of our model. These external organisations may not have, and may not be willing to acquire, MAE. Whilst PowerPoint is useful for providing a structured presentation of any 'story' that we wish to tell, it does not allow the external organisation to drill-down into specific areas of interest in an intuitive and interactive way. Although static publishing has some issues, it does allow us to provide a set of files that the external organisation can peruse as they see fit.

Craig has articulated our issues precisely. For reasons I won't elaborate on here, we currently have access to an MAE server but next year it is likely we won't: without a means of sharing content with externals MBA becomes almost useless to us and thus we'll probably have to look at alternatives, which is a shame as I think there are some excellent features in MBA that aren't available in other tools.

Craig i believe has captured the business case that most suits my examples as well. In my case, there are customer on a Security bound infrastructure, they currently use static web publish to transfer a version of their models onto a DVD and over to this segregated network for analysis an comment.
