In order for BlackBerry to maintain the adoption levels for BB10 that it has enjoyed from government users for past versions, the company needs developers to come on board to provide popular apps, especially those addressing enterprise collaboration.
Mobile app development company harmon.ie has one area covered. The company has announced the release of a native app that allows BlackBerry 10 users to take full advantage of both Office 365 and SharePoint platforms.
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).
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.
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.
What differentiates harmon.ie from its competitors? harmon.ie 4 is a suite of connected apps focused on “Bringing Office 365 to the Mobile Enterprise”. Their suite ties together SharePoint 365, Yammer, Office Web Apps and SkyDrive all in one package. Some other key points:
harmon.ie is not limiting organizations to pick just one platform - it is platform agnostic and harmon.ie is offered on desktop, mobile and cloud, letting the organizations pick and choose the right infrastructure for their needs;
harmon.ie ensures the success and adoption of Office 365 and SharePoint initiatives;
harmon.ie puts a lot of emphasis on social initiatives.
For the road warrior these are key features that enable productivity while mobile. Also, organizations that support multiple platforms may want the ability to choose one product vendor to help manage costs associated with ownership, such as support, training and ongoing testing of standard images for devices.
