14 DAY TRIAL // Social software provider “harmon.ie” has announced a new iPad application allowing business users to join the existing harmon.ie desktop users in sharing documents, getting real-time document and colleague status updates, and connecting with colleagues on the fly.
The company acknowledges that Apple has sold more than 67 million iPads – 90% and 74% of Fortune 500 and global 500 companies, respectively, are testing or deploying iPads.
The iPad must allow roaming business users to edit and share documents on the go, securely and easily, for it to become a full-fledged enterprise platform.
This is where harmon.ie comes in as the only current solution capable of delivering this consistent collaborative and social experience, regardless of the location.
Today, the social software provider is unveiling the first-ever product solution to put Microsoft SharePoint document collaboration and social interactions on Apple’s iPad.
Yaacov Cohen, CEO of harmon.ie, said “Think of harmon.ie for iPad this way: colleagues no longer have an excuse that they couldn’t get work done on the road because they couldn’t get ahold of the latest version of a document, or they missed a deadline because they couldn’t give feedback in time.”
“We basically just made the mobile business world all the more accessible – and accountable – by providing a secure, consistent enterprise iOS application for SharePoint users on-the-go. You’re welcome,” said Cohen.
“Corporate America – 78 percent of which already use SharePoint, according to Forrester – spends at least half its work day in email. Another significant portion of the day is spent on-the-go – whether in restaurants, on airplanes or in hotel rooms,” added David Lavenda, vice president of marketing and product strategy at harmon.ie.
“So think about it: doesn’t it make sense to convert these places into social, collaborative workspaces rather than invent something entirely new? With harmon.ie, users no longer need to toggle from window to window to grab documents or contact colleagues,” said Lavenda. “There are no more concerns over version control or large files clogging inboxes or outboxes. With harmon.ie, everything that corporate America needs to be productive and efficient is simply accessible from the iPad, iPhone or email window.”
