ITER web applications made in India

The sharing and managing of information are done in the only way ITER does things: on a global scale. 24,000 documents and 100,000 cross references provide the starting challenge for the ITER IT development team, which needs to find solutions for a fast-growing demand for user-friendly web-based applications to manage information. About six weeks ago, the SilverTouch Technologies Ltd company in Ahmedabad, India, has joined this effort as part of a contribution from the Indian Party, bringing fresh ideas to the existing expertise at ITER.

For two weeks, ITER IT specialist Carlo Capuano worked together with the Indian team to set up the collaboration and to create the basis of the new application, which will be the future reference point of ITER information and documentation.
