SharePoint Pairs How much Absolut vodka was sold in Russia in the past three months? Do New Yorkers prefer single-malt or blended scotch? How are whisky sales stacking up versus wine in India? These are critical statistics to know when you’re a major player in the Wine & Spirits sector. Fortunately for Pernod Ricard, SharePoint… READ MORE
Everyone’s going mobile. The target seems to be clear: All companies want their employees to be able to work while they are on the road, at the airport, between meetings etc. (I personally miss the days when going for a coffee was just to drink coffee…no WiFi, no work)
Mobile capability for CRM software has rapidly evolved from a nice-to-have feature to a critical component of CRM software. Research firm Gartner reports that the CRM software market grew 12.5% in 2012, but they also predict that the market for mobile CRM will grow an astounding 500% by 2014. Here are three reasons why your CRM must be mobile-ready.
With SharePoint 2007, 2010, and now in SharePoint 2013, Microsoft offers its mobile users a “SharePoint mobile view”.
Those who listened to my keynote will understand that I am very passionate about SharePoint and Mobile. The mobile revolution of BYOD is here. In fact, 67% of the people who use a smartphone for work and 70% of those who use a tablet for work are choosing the device themselves. They aren’t necessarily thinking about whether their enterprise will support it.
I’ve always thought the word kill comes on a little strong, but at the same time… I think it gets the point across. I’ve been very big into mobile lately and SharePoint’s default mobile WAP interface is driving me crazy. About 5 months ago I wrote about some of my experiences: SharePoint For Mobile – Yes we can!
You may have deployed SharePoint and had a complaint from a mobile user, by default the experience isn’t great. A legacy design decision was made for SharePoint 2010’s that creates a poor default mobile smart phone experience. In my mind if they would have kept the capability for mobile as an alternative and left the default experience alone things would be much better. Instead, by default, an iPad or iPhone, Windows Phone 7, Android, and even Blackberry… yes essentially all your rich mobile phones have a degraded user experience. SharePoint 2010 inherited the mobile interface that was built in SharePoint 2007, and it was improved slightly for publishing sites in SharePoint 2010, and a whole SDK was built for mobile. Was it a waste?
The wave of mobile is upon us, and with SharePoint mobile access enabling users to access the files they need on-the-go, business never has to stop moving. That is, until the need for a signature authorization arises.
