Kimind is business partner of Backupify, and we are very please of this announcement. Backupify is a very important add-on solution for Google Apps, providing and extra layer of security to be sure you will never loose any data, even if one of your users is deleting it on purpose or accidentally. Backupify will allow you to retrieve any information from gmail, calendar, contacst, docs and sites, at any time. And having Symantec on board is a very impressive signal for the reliability of the company in long term.

Competition in the cloud file management will be hard. Dropbox, Box, Drive, Skydrive, .... great actors, with a lot of interesting features. I think Box missed the opportunity to have a great Google Apps integration, they didn't follow our suggestions, implementing Google Docs is a very odd way, and Google now has done with Drive what Box could have done years before. So for most of our customers, it's better to use Drive than Box, even if Box features are by themselves more interesting. But with no correct integration of Google Docs, this doesn't allow to use thme in the google Apps environment.

Good news about this is that pure players of the internet are improving their security dramatically. This is very good, and a necessary step for everybody. It's why also Google is so much secure than the others, they have taken already all this actions few years ago, because fully of the security problems.

Nous le constatons également avec la jeune génération de DSI que nous commençons à rencontrer, en général dans les entreprises de taille moyenne.

This is the big question. You know my answer, in the future we'll not need anymore files, because everything will be manager online (produced and consumed online). I'm living with this all day, the only files I'm managing are those received from external people. Myself I'm not producing anymore files, everything is produced on a SaaS service (mind maps, docs, spreadsheets, accounting, billing, timesheet, bug tracking, development tracking, sales pipeline, CRM, task management, etc...)
