Document Management using SharePoint


Greetings ! Collaborating on Documents is one of the biggest challenges for Companies, large or Small ! But since it is essential to Collaborate on Documents, the one solution which people rely upon is emailing documents among the various people in the Team . This method has many pitfalls

1. Version control becomes impossible
2. It leads to unnecessary Email traffic
3. Its always a challenge to identify the conflicting versions.
4. Such documents can be easily mailed out of the Company thus leading to document leakage.
5. Its difficult to identify the right documents as the process of document search is a nightmare.

This is where SharePoint Technologies comes into picture . To understand what is SharePoint, please click here .

Windows phone the Best Smartphone for Business

 

Greetings!

Over past few months,  I have been playing with my Windows Phone. I am really enjoying the experience. It has done wonders to my productivity . So I thought why not share this information with others !

I have listed reasons why I believe that Windows Phone is the BEST Business Smart Phone. And the BEST Smart Phone for Consumers too ! So do take a moment and review the reasons I have put up . Click here for details.

I have also created a short video on why I love my Windows Phone .

What I especially love is the fantastic integration with Office365 , the Cloud based service from Microsoft . The phone has wonderful email client called Outlook Mobile which does a great job of integrating MS Exchange Online . It does not stop there. It offers a wonderful experience while integrating with SharePoint Online allowing me to read and edit my MS Office files.

So hopefully some of you will now be convinced that there is life beyond iPhone and Androids! Love my Windows Phone !

with warm regards
