It's been exciting week here at harmon.ie HQ.
A few days ago, we launched the first-ever product to bring SharePoint document
collaboration and social interactions to the iPad – and the response from the mobile
business community has been overwhelming.
Hey, corporate America, ever feel like you are too connected? Well, hate to

harmon.ie is going mobile and unveiling the first-ever product to bring
SharePoint document collaboration and social interactions to the iPad – “harmon.ie

documents, get real-time document and colleague status update, and
connect with colleagues anywhere, anytime.
We knew we were cool but now it’s confirmed. Gartner has named harmon.ie one of 5 “Cool Vendors” in the “Cool Vendors in Social Software and Collaboration, 2012”[i].
