mélange du cahier et du numérique. A tester :)

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

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.

It's the kind of thing we tried to do with Netcipia expertise monetisation, but for sure 5 years too soon!

We are business partners of Kwage. It allows you to automatize contact updates from email signatures. Great service, essential to have your address book updated in real time. Boxcar acquisition is a very interesting move. Let us know more in the future.

En fait c'est les fonctions de collaboration qui sont attendues, plus que les fonctions sociales. Mais les analystes ont tendance à réunir aujourd'hui collaboration et social sous la même étiquette de réseau social d'entreprise. Cela nous semble préjudiciable à la compréhension exacte des phénomènes, puisque nous défendons justement que c'est les environnements collaboratifs qu'il faut absolument déployer dans les entreprises pour augmenter la productivité et faire circuler et partager l'information.

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.
