There has to be a better way. TextFlow is a great complement to Box’s collaboration features, providing a dynamic way to gather and merge feedback from colleagues, partners and clients.

Webalo Creates Enterprise-to-Mobile Connections 100X Faster Than Traditional Mobile Application Development

"A new Webalo customer, who's in the manufacturing division of a Fortune 50 company, invited a group of enterprise mobility firms to spend a day showing what they can do, and they all made day-long presentations. We took twenty minutes, and that was enough to convince them that the Webalo Mobile Dashboard might really be what we said it was."

 That same company has now used MD2 to connect their customer database to the smartphones of their employees. Those employees now have access to individual and consolidated data that helps them solve problems on the spot. A national retailer also connects its mobile work force to data with MD2, and it lets sales floor staff query by SKU numbers to check inventory status, find items in other stores, and determine re-stocking dates -- activities that can connect customers with the merchandise they want.

]]>Is iPad the First mobile Cloud-Browsing device ?http://www.berryforms.com/home/2010/1/28/is-ipad-the-first-mobile-cloud-browsing-device.htmlAriel Segall2010-01-28T15:05:43Z2010-01-28T15:05:43ZYesterday, Apple announced its latest mobile computing device called the iPad. It certainly looks like an iPhone on steroids, and yes, it boasted a price tag much lower than I expected.

Just right after the announcement, the internet started to get hit with tons of interesting reviews, but most of them came from what I call “new-age-old-school people”, even if they were using Twitter to post their point of view.

As Steve Jobs stated, the iPad is a revolutionary new device that comes to fill the gap between your smartphone and your desktop with a gadget that delivers content as per the user wants and needs.

Opposed to what most of the blogs state about the iPad having failed to materialize some cool features, I believe and understand that the iPad comes to be a genuine  true Cloud Content delivery tool.

With the ability to create and edit any kind of document with services such as Google Docs and Picnik and the empowerment that Box.net provides to instantly view ( and edit ) popular file formats for documents such as spreadsheets, presentations, PDFs, images, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator files, audio and Flash video ( Flash Apps Will Run On The iPad  ) right from the Box, on a single browser window, you really do not need more than 64Gb nor a drag & drop feature.

The iPad user interface is designed to access and view content from the Cloud and from standard internet content publishers on an anywhere – anytime manner. That is brilliant and truly futuristic for those who understand where content management is heading.

Certainly, the incorporation of an SD card reader, a built-in camera or a USB port would have been great features, but please remember that all these features can easily be added with the use of Bluetooth peripherals that can bring to Apple additional revenue just like they did with their Time Capsule and Air Port Wi-Fi stations.

So, what is next? Well, for me it is very simple. I’ll get in line, wait 60 days and buy my entry level iPad with Wi-Fi and 16 Gb to manage all my personal and work information that resides on my Box.net account and then on my spare time, I will read the New York Times and stream the upcoming episodes of Lost. How about you ? Please comment .

This post was written by Aaron Levie, CEO and co-founder of Box.net  on thier own blog site to clarify his position on some controversial and interesting comments posted at TechCrunch as a response to his incredible blog post.

Executive Summary : 

1.- Cloud vendor’s very existence hinges on their ability to protect data and have as little server downtime as possible - it’s their primary competency.

2.- Many large SaaS providers today are SAS70 certified, which includes regular auditing by third parties on all aspects of security - from network firewalls to authentication policies to procedures for employee termination

3.- Storing business data in the cloud requires rethinking security, and we’re seeing a lot of innovative IT professionals begin to embrace this new approach

4.- A serious perk of using cloud-based platforms is that they’re far easier to integrate - whereas traditional enterprise software integrations are tedious, requiring significant IT time and even consultants for systems integrations, cloud services take an open platform approach, making integrations seamless and more effective.

5.- The cloud will tip when this trend extends to the enterprise, and we’re already beginning to see significant traction with large-scale deployments of Google Apps and the dominance of Salesforce as a CRM solution

This post was written by Aaron Levie, CEO and co-founder of Box.net. on TechCruch on January 10, 2010.

Executive Summary : 

  1. Cloud-based services are about to tip for the enterprise, and quickly.
  2. Today’s web-based platforms are finally maturing into real, viable solutions for businesses.
  3. Over the next two years, enterprise IT will follow in the footsteps of today’s early adopters and visionaries, finally embracing the Cloud and moving content, applications, and processes to the web.
  4. Managing infrastructure and technology that is not competitively-additive has become competitively-expensive.
  5. IT experts are redefining their roles and priorities from directly maintaining all the “contextual” applications around their business (CRM, email, file servers, search) to honing in on technologies that are core to their company’s performance and competitive advantage.
  6. There is no question that Security concerns and a fear of relinquishing control of data and applications are still holding back adoption of cloud technologies in the enterprise. But traditional IT has never been fully secure either, and Cloud IT providers have a number of mechanisms at their disposal to improve lock-down procedures on all fronts – plus, their business survival hinges on reliability and security.
  7. The Cloud is inherently scalable.
  8. Internal infrastructure can take months to set up, but cloud solutions can be online within hours.
