As technology advances will the need for Clay Tablet 2.5 go away?
No. There will always be a demand for Clay Tablet 2.5. Even in the unlikely case that a standard ever gets developed and adopted, for every aspect of the content translation life cycle, there will still need to be an intelligent hub, in the middle of the process, to connect multiple systems together while handling the routing of content between the many different systems. Simply connecting each system to all the others individually (using this imaginary standard) wouldn’t be scalable, and always requires substantial custom coding. And over the long term would certainly become a nightmare to try to maintain. You’d have no central routing and no way of gathering status or reporting across all the systems. Clay Tablet 2.5 software already provides those capabilities.
