Gartner defines cool vendors in content management as companies that “provide IT and business buyers with innovative solutions to help them create, manage and access their information better”.  A driving force behind the current content management challenge for enterprises is mobile and the Gartner report continues: “Emerging mobile requirements to create and socialize content requires enterprises to consider new tools and infrastructure”.

“Colligo is one of the early vendors to offer access to SharePoint documents via a mobile device (iOS or Android) and enables them to be stored offline for easy viewing, editing and synchronization,” says Gavin Tay, Research Director, Gartner Inc.

In the report, Tay indicates Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is a catalyst behind “content-on-the-go” and adds the following comment: “Embracing BYOD while maintaining control of corporate data requires a fine balance between flexibility and control.  For flexibility, Colligo provides central server configuration and deployment of content by establishing ‘personas’ that are pushed out to the devices a user chooses.  Colligo has also partnered with most major mobile device management solutions so that it can erase data remotely and selectively and protect sensitive content from distribution for control.”

“Being selected by Gartner as one of only five emerging vendors that are changing the game in content management means the world to us,” says Barry Jinks, CEO, Colligo.  “It’s confirmation that our focus on enterprise sync and mobile collaboration since inception, coupled with the new products we have unveiled recently, are hitting the mark with customers and analysts alike.”

The recognition by Gartner is timely as Colligo recently launched new products to continue its vision to support enterprise collaboration and sync everywhere, on any device. Colligo Email Manager 6.0 and Colligo Briefcase 6.0 for Windows are a complete solution for SharePoint that is the first Windows product suite to integrate email management, document collaboration and enterprise sync in a single package.

One obvious use case for this feature is to link Yammer into Outlook, as shown below.

Without leaving Outlook, I can monitor my colleagues’ latest posts, share status updates of my own, and even share documents and other files from SharePoint.

As Microsoft brings Yammer and SharePoint closer together, Colligo is committed to enabling these powerful collaboration technologies in a way that promotes adoption among your enterprise users.

I thought it was a great event all around. Lots of good speakers, including our good friend Mark Miller, with whom we worked closely on Sharing the Point Africa this year. Mark gave an insightful talk on the social aspects of SharePoint. Mark is a “serial community builder” and one of his communities is NothingButSharePoint.

Dan Holme was the keynote speaker. Dan spoke about his experiences as the Microsoft Technology Consultant to NBC Sports at the 2012 Olympics in London. Some very cool stories on what it’s like to setup and teardown a sophisticated IT infrastructure for a company of 3,500 people in less than 3 weeks!

It’s well worth seeing the video’s of Mark and Dan speaking at this event — here are all the SharePoint Leadership Forum 2012 presentations.

My presentation was on the Implications of Integrating Mobile Devices with SharePoint:

For the past eight years, Colligo has provided professional services to our customers, so our “new” division isn’t so much new as formalized. We’ve worked closely with thousands of business leaders, technology professionals, and end users during this time, helping them to extend SharePoint to better address their collaboration, content management, and mobility requirements.

It’s this experience we’re drawing from to offer services engagements for SharePoint mobility and BYOD strategies and implementation; best practices for structuring information and metadata to support compliance and discoverability; evaluation, customization, configuration and deployment packages; and end user and administrator training.

I’ve witnessed incredible growth in SharePoint during my three years with Colligo, and in my previous position at Capgemini, where I created successful business change programs for SharePoint. I know from experience that a professionally-managed deployment is the most effective way to ensure a successful project. And that means making sure the solution solves the business challenges for the organization in a way that end users and senior managers will both embrace.

As the leader of this division, my role, and all of our projects, are highly focused on the business change you want to achieve. If you have a need to simplify change management, maximize end user productivity, and drive SharePoint adoption across your organization, let me know. I’d be happy to help.

Microsoft SharePoint Conference 2012 — Las Vegas, NV — November 12, 2012 — Colligo Networks, the leading provider of SharePoint apps for the enterprise, today announced that Colligo Briefcase, their award-winning mobile app for secure SharePoint collaboration, is now available on Android, Mac OS X, and Apple iOS. Colligo’s complete mobile collaboration solution now also extends compatibility to Microsoft SharePoint 2013, Microsoft Office 2013, and Microsoft Windows 8 PCs and mobile devices.

Mobile collaboration tools are increasingly important to organizations using SharePoint, as they balance supporting consumerization with ensuring data security. According to a recent survey by AIIM, 90% of IT professionals reported that mobile device access to SharePoint does not satisfy or only partially satisfies their needs. With this release, Colligo enables companies to solve the BYOD challenge with a single solution that works across every platform, device, and version of SharePoint, on-premises, in the cloud, or in hybrid SharePoint environments.

“Colligo is ideal for keeping our mobile users productive, while ensuring critical content is managed in SharePoint”, said Mike Wright, Business Systems Analyst at Northpower, a major power utility. “The support for all major platforms – Windows, iOS, Android, and Mac – gives us even more flexibility in supporting BYOD.”

The complete Colligo solution provides organizations with:

Secure mobile SharePoint access – Award-winning mobile app, Colligo Briefcase, solves the SharePoint mobility challenge by providing secure access to SharePoint on Apple iOS, Mac OS X, and Android. Full offline support, metadata support, and industry-leading sync and security capabilities enable organizations to embrace BYOD while maintaining control of their corporate data. Compatibility with all major Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions, coupled with Colligo’s customization and deployment services, ensures a secure and manageable enterprise mobile solution.

SharePoint email management – Colligo provides seamless integration between SharePoint and Microsoft Outlook or the desktop, for managing email, connected or offline, on both Windows and Mac. Advanced metadata support reduces corporate risk by ensuring content is accurately tagged and readily accessible.

Centralized configuration and management – Colligo Administrator provides centrally-configured and managed SharePoint access, to ensure a consistent user experience, regardless of platform or device.

Professional and training services – Colligo’s services division offers custom packages to enable organizations to easily deploy, manage, and use Colligo solutions in accordance with organizational policies, regulatory requirements, and industry best practices.

“Colligo is one of the vendors we track in the key enterprise collaboration space,” said Alan Pelz-Sharpe, Research Director, Content Management and Collaboration at industry analyst The 451 Group. “The ability to access any document on any device anywhere has long been considered the Holy Grail for document management. This sync ability is clearly a boon to those who are adherents to BYOD, and mobile information workers in general.”

Colligo unveiled the new platform and device support today at the Microsoft SharePoint Conference 2012 in Las Vegas, Nevada. For more information or to request a 30-day trial, visit Colligo at booth #1040.

Vancouver, BC, October 31, 2012 – Colligo Networks, the leader in email and document management solutions for Microsoft SharePoint, today announced Colligo Briefcase 3.3, adding powerful new capabilities to the secure SharePoint app for Apple mobile devices. Colligo offers the only enterprise-class suite of apps to deliver a consistent user experience when managing SharePoint content across desktop and mobile devices, including SharePoint/Outlook integration app, Colligo Email Manager; and Colligo Administrator, for centralized administration and management; in addition to the award-winning Colligo Briefcase for secure mobile access.

New in Colligo Briefcase 3.3

• SharePoint calendar support with day/week/month views
• Search SharePoint from your mobile device, including support for FAST Search Server for SharePoint
• Create unlimited “Playlists” of SharePoint items, grouping related or frequently-used content for fast access
• Prompt for metadata when new items are uploaded to SharePoint
• Filter SharePoint columns to see only the data you want
• Support for SharePoint content types

“Colligo Briefcase 3.3 reinforces our commitment to delivering the highest quality user experience across every device, without compromising the needs of the enterprise,” says Trevor Dyck, Director of Product Management, Colligo. “On one hand, this release adds features to increase end user productivity, such as the ability to search SharePoint from within the app, or create playlists of related content. On the other, it also recognizes that the backbone of enterprise content management is metadata, which must be supported, regardless of device.”

Benco Dental ensures fast, mobile access to sales materials with Colligo Briefcase

Benco Dental is the fastest growing US dental distributor, providing dental supplies, equipment, dental consulting, and equipment services to more than 30,000 dental professionals in all 50 states. To improve sales productivity and achieve faster customer response times, Benco chose Colligo Briefcase to enable their sales force to securely access SharePoint content from their iPads and iPhones.

Says Terry Barrett, VP of Information Technology at Benco Dental, “We searched for a solution that would enable mobile access to SharePoint, even when offline. Our sales guys are on the road, at dental offices and will frequently be offline, so that was essential. Some solutions just didn’t work offline. Others would only allow us to search on the document name and not on the metadata. Colligo Briefcase Enterprise met all our criteria in an easy-to-use iPad app.”

Full details of Benco Dental’s Colligo Briefcase implementation are available in this SharePoint iPad case study.

Colligo Briefcase 3.3 Editions, Pricing and Availability

Colligo Briefcase is available in three editions: Lite, Pro and Enterprise, with a single license covering iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. Enterprise pricing is determined based on feature and deployment options.

Colligo Briefcase Pro is available immediately from the Apple App Store. Organizations in select countries can also purchase using Apple’s B2B Volume Purchase Program.

Vancouver, BC, July 23, 2012 – Colligo Networks, the leading provider of SharePoint apps for email and document management, today announced the release of Colligo Briefcase 3.0, a major upgrade to the award-winning app for securely managing SharePoint content on Apple mobile devices. Previously available for Apple iPad, Colligo Briefcase 3.0 adds support for Apple iPhone and iPod Touch, in addition to several new and enhanced features.

Colligo Briefcase, which won Best SharePoint product from Windows IT Pro at Microsoft TechEd in June 2012, is the leading app for managing and sharing Microsoft SharePoint content on Apple iPads, iPhones, and iPods. Based on a unified, native iOS code base, Briefcase utilizes Colligo’s proven, secure SharePoint caching engine, used by thousands of organizations globally, to deliver secure offline access to SharePoint content. Designed for people on-the-go, Colligo Briefcase enables users to capture, view, edit, and share files and list items wherever they are, through the familiar touch interface. As with every Colligo app, Colligo Briefcase can be centrally deployed and managed through Colligo Administrator, enabling IT administrators to seamlessly configure SharePoint content access across multiple devices.

Colligo Briefcase has seen widespread adoption within organizations using SharePoint, including Pittson, Pennsylvania-based, Benco Dental. As the largest independent, family-owned dental distributor in the United States, Benco employs over 400 outside sales people, serving over 30,000 customers. Said Terry Barrett, Vice President of Information Technology at Benco, “With so many of our reps choosing to use their personal iPads in the field, it was imperative that we provide a solution that would enable their information access in a way that still ensured our security. Colligo Briefcase on iPad, and now iPhone, has allowed us to embrace and support BYOD so we can realize the productivity gains that are enabled by these mobile devices.”

New in Colligo Briefcase 3.0:

• Universal app covering iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch
• Improved synchronization, including “Smart Caching” for offline access to SharePoint
• Support for InfoPath forms, enabling users to capture form data in the field
• Support for UAG/TMG/Forms based authentication, eliminating the need for VPNs to access SharePoint behind the corporate firewall
• Photo and sketch capture, with direct upload to SharePoint
• Optional configuration through Colligo Administrator (Colligo Briefcase Enterprise only)

“Best-of-breed security and functionality continue to define our development focus,” said Trevor Dyck, Director, Product Management, Colligo Networks. “Colligo Briefcase is unrivaled in its ability to provide information workers with the tools and data they need in the field, whether it’s completing InfoPath forms, editing SharePoint content, uploading photos or accessing emails in SharePoint—all within the secure confines of an organization’s existing SharePoint environment.”
