Mobile is hot, and harmon.ie is doing some real power delivery. Today harmon.ie launches a significant release to its desktop and mobile software including new releases for iOS and the BlackBerry 10. harmon.ie delivers new solutions that provide a simple and consistent experience in the Office with Outlook integration, on the road with a tablet, on the run with your phone, or from the web on any kiosk via the cloud.
The corporate workplace has become a diverse mobile device environment mainly driven by the growing number of mobile professionals and demand for newer devices with improved user interface, applications, speed and cool factor. Core to this demand is employee mobility and the expectation for anywhere and anytime access to information, people, applications and communications to support increased demand for productivity and customer responsiveness.
With more organizations adopting Yammer or moving their SharePoint offering to the cloud, users need a way to seamlessly interact with colleagues and work with their SharePoint documents without going to disparate locations to perform their day-to-day tasks. This was one of the cool new capabilities that harmon.ie has implemented into their latest product release - harmon.ie 4.0 - which was released earlier today.
Among the many new features in harmon.ie Version 4.0 include:
Office 365 and SharePoint app for the Blackberry 10
Mobile security enhancements
Yammer support (Outlook and OWA only)
Document preview (Outlook only)
SkyDrive Pro integration with offline capability and synchronization
Native office web apps support on iOS (Android coming soon)
Support for Office 365 file sharing
"I look at BlackBerry as a provider of infrastructure for mobile computing," Cohen said. "When you look at things from this angle, given the huge need for secure infrastructure, then the position of BlackBerry can be one of total leadership, something similar to what Microsoft achieved during the switch to personal computing."
harmon.ie is a cross-platform SharePoint, Office 365, SkyDrive Pro and Yammer client. It currently supports iOS and BlackBerry 10 with Android support to follow in Q3. harmon.ie makes it easy to connect with colleagues and collaborate on projects.
We noticed the harmon.ie announcement at BlackBerry Live 2013 for Office 365 and SharePoint coming to BB10, so we met up with the co-founder and CEO Yaacov Cohen to get a closer look. Harmon.ie sits on BES 10.1, allowing its users to access all sorts of day-to-day Office 365 information securely, as well as tapping into the SharePoint cloud collaboration service...
Having worked a lot with harmon.ie recently at various customers and conferences around both mobile and email solutions for SharePoint, I decided to chat with one of their senior executives to give you the chance to hear about the fantastic solutions they offer, especially in their new 4.0 release, and their interesting views on mobile, collaboration, information overload, Yammer and other kinds of SharePoint integration.
Die neue Version bietet eine erweiterte Unterstützung für SharePoint 2013 und Office 365. Das Outlook-Addin kann jetzt auch auf SkyDrive Pro zugreifen, bietet Offline Support und Share-Funktionen direkt aus Outlook heraus. Neu hinzugekommen ist die Integration von Yammer.
It's the first native mobile app to bundle Office Web Apps for editing, collaborating and sharing documents with colleagues on iPads and other mobile devices, the company wrote in a May 13 blog post, adding that "the prayers of millions of mobile workers have been answered."
Les déclarations d’intention quant à la mobilité et à la mise à disposition des collaborateurs d’outils de plus en plus faciles et utiles sur mobile (tablettes et smartphones) ne manquent pas (cf. l’infographie ci-après).
