iPhone and SharePoint – Custom Solutions

Apple has made considerable strides towards integration and support for the Microsoft Enterprise markets. Specifically……….

“….Apple iPhone 3.0 software supports Microsoft Exchange, ActiveSync, delivering push email, calendar, and contacts. iPhone also gives mobile users secure access to corporate resources with Cisco IPSec VPN and wireless network services with WPA2 Enterprise and 802.1X authentication…”

However, support for a key component of the Microsoft Enterprise component, SharePoint, has been missing until now.

See below for typical solutions we can provide.

1. Choose to browse your SharePoint Site

With Digilink’s add-on software any iPhone user can easily access their SharePoint site when they are away from their desk or computer. All your sites, all your libraries, all your documents. All of the time. The Revelation iPhone software is available for corporate users, for hosting companies and for individual users.

2. Select which Library you want

Revelation for iPhone doesn’t download all your documents on to the iPhone, It uses the standard Revelation application to create an information cache to locate any document which is then formatted for the iPhone.

3. Choose which documents you want

The iPhone add-on from Digi-Link does not synchronise your documents onto your iPhone. What it does is to represent your SharePoint document libraries in an iPhone friendly Apple interface. The standard SharePoint site is too complex to browse on your iPhone in any acceptable manner. Look again at the image above. See how clearly everything is represented. Now you can browse for and click on any filename and watch while the whole document opens on your iPhone.

4. The document opens!

SharePoint documents, delivered in iPhone style.

FAQs

How does it work?:

Revelation for iPhone doesn’t download all your documents on to the iPhone, It uses the standard Revelation 2008 application to create an information cache to locate any document which is then formatted for the iPhone. You must have an internet connection. This can be any of the connection methods. GPRS/EDGE/3G or Wi-Fi. You must, of course, also either be on your office network or be able to connect to your network from the Internet.

Who are typical customers.

Companies who want to centralise their documents on to SharePoint but whose staff move around the office or leave the office to visit customers, clients etc. e.g. service engineers. That way you can use SharePoint, off the shelf, for your document management yet still enjoy the ‘tailored for iPhone’ mobile experience.

What about Hosted SharePoint:

Your users don’t have the corporate IT resources to set-up mobile usage. Revelation iPhone can give your customers what they want, remote document access, on demand.
