Re: Google Sites vs. MS SharePoint

I am for iPhone — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 14:37:23 -0000

The problem with Google is that it doesn't integrate with MS products that companies are so used to - MS Office, MS Outlook. An alternative for companies which cant afford SharePoint, is to go for an online SharePoint alternative like HyperOffice, which works well with MS tools, brings most of the collaboration features, and cuts down costs through a subscription based model.

Re: Microsoft cuts prices for online Exchange, Sharepoint versions

Inspite of the price cut, i still see BPOS losing out to cloud native solutions like Google Apps from a cost perspective. Inspite of the lowered upfront cost, the total cost of BPOS is still more since its complex and needs implementation support.

See the following cost comparison of BPOS and competitors - http://www.hyperoffice.com/google-apps-vs-micro...

Re: When Talking About Business Models, Remember That Profits Equal Revenues Minus Costs

I am for iPhone — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:25:24 -0000

With internet businesses neck deep in the "free" culture, on-premise software vendors have been ranking in the billions. Now with the internet becoming an increasingly important medium to deliver even business applications (SaaS). Since many of these SaaS applications will be replacing traditional costly on premise software, business consumers will be pretty open to paying up for these web based products.

SaaS companies could make for pretty straightforward business models by simply charging for their products rather than looking for alternate models. Early SaaS companies have built very financially viable businesses by following this simple model. All this will work, unless biggies like Google ruin it all by using their incredible economic clout to offer free business products and run loss making business units, and compensate for it from profits from other business units (advertising)

Re: Testing the Blackberry Bold vs iPhone 3g

I am for iPhone — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 15:11:15 -0000

the browser is the main shortcoming of blackberry for me. i lose out on a myriad of mobile webapps like HyperOffice and SalesForce if i use blackberry.

Re: RIM - End of Days?

I am for iPhone — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 09:40:32 -0000

RIM commited an elementary marketing blunder - give customers less than the best as long as competition is not around. that works only as long as theres no competition, and as soon as someone better comes along, theyre going to drop you like a hot potato - and theres no recovering from that position

Re: Office 2010 continues Microsoft’s streak of brilliant product names

I am for iPhone — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 16:18:03 -0000

I would be interested in seeing Office 2010's compatibility with online collaboration software like HyperOffice , which have traditionally worked well with the desktop Office suite. There is a natural fit, since people would now be able to collaborate on Office documents without having to depend on the local system having MS Office installed, and also have other productivity software wrapped around (calendars, workspaces, tasks). But i wonder if Microsoft wants this pie for itself, and will develop its own collaboration system.

Re: Google preparing to launch a PC operating system

I am for iPhone — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 16:42:13 -0000

It will take a very bold person at this point to install a Google OS on their system. They will be letting go of all their local applications, and be dependent mainly on web apps, and apps people start to develop for the Chrome OS (a very small pool to choose from).

Re: Not being the boss - my biggest adjustment in my career change

I am for iPhone — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 10:49:11 -0000

Outsourcing, or working from home is certainly the wave of the future. i left a regular job in a well known software company myself to tread this new path. I use the HyperOffice collaboration suite for managing productivity and information and collaborating with my clients.

Re: Spotlight on Home-based Businesses

I am for iPhone — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 03:02:44 -0000

half the businesses in USA home based! that is an incredible statistic. i guess this creates a huge oppurtunity for web based communications and collaborations solutions like ours (hyperoffice).

Re: WWDC 2008 Keynote Annoucments, Apple iPhone 3G & MobileMe

I am for iPhone — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 10:16:54 -0000

mobileme was for me the most exciting announcement, but even that is a little dissapointing. thats because its still mobileME (personal info management) and not mobileUS (information sharing). so it cant really be called "exchange for the rest of us". i guess that keeps solutions like HyperOffice viable as they also allow for sharing of info (contacts, calendars, docs etc) across mac, pc and iPhone.

Re: MobileMe Outage

I am for iPhone — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 09:54:28 -0000

I never have been a great mobileme fan, because other solutions offer a much better deal, like http://iphone.hyperoffice.com. in addition to synching personal information across the iPhone and desktop (which is what mobileme does) it also lets you share information with others (essential from a business context) and also lets you share and view documents from your iPhone (a unique feature). now thats what i would truly call an "exchange alternative" or "exchange for the rest of us". this mail outage is the last straw!

Re: High gas prices drive businesses to Web conferencing

I am for iPhone — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 12:16:00 -0000

hypermeeting is a new easy to use online web conferencing solution for small businesses from HyperOffice. what i like about hypermeeting is that it integrates with the rest of HyperOffice's collaboration suite. i think there are great synergies to be reaped.

Re: High gas prices drive businesses to Web conferencing - Page 2

I am for iPhone — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 12:20:46 -0000

recently released hypermeeting from hyperoffice will certainly create ripples. Its very ease to use, powerful, and most importantly, it integrates with HyperOffice's collaboration solution. ive always thought integrated collaboration+web conferencing would be explosive.

Re: 5 free or cheap Google apps for SMB success

One of the apps Google touts for the small business segment is Google Apps! We recently did an assessment of Google Apps for the small business segment. You can look at it @ http://www.hyperoffice.com/google-apps-vs-micro...

Re: Getting a handle on Google Apps

I am for iPhone — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 14:19:26 -0000

A very pertinent comparison is between Google Apps and Microsoft BPOS. Microsoft could no longer ignore the threat from low cost, online, easy to use productivity solutions like Google Apps, and had to launch Microsoft BPOS. Both offer parallel functionality - integrated email, collaboration and conferencing features. We recently created a chart comparing these Google and Microsoft babies you might want to see.

Re: Why it probably isn’t worth using .Mac/MobileMe

I am for iPhone — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 07:36:03 -0000

moreover mobileme doesnt even live up to the reputation of being "exchange for the rest of us". it only allows for synching of personal information rather than the ability to share information, one of the critical features of Exchange. there are other offerings like hyperoffice which allow this.

i would have expected Hyper Office to certainly make the cut. it offers very extensive functionality and suits smaller companies like ours.

one would think that HyperOffice has the credentials to be in there

Re: 2008/09/04/microsoft-office-live-one-million-users/

I am for iPhone — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 10:15:52 -0000

isnt the fact that Workspace ties directly into MS Office products unfair to competitors who might offer online document collaboration solutions? Does it comprise misuse of MS's near monopoly of the office suite market?

I argue, it does. Read my article - http://www.onlinedocumentsharingreviews.com/off...

I am for iPhone — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 17:58:33 -0000

a great tool that that should certainly have made the list is HyperOffice , its the only web based tool to offer integrated messaging (mail, calendars, contact directories, task management), collaboration (document management, intranet extranet publishing, forums) and conferencing (web conferencing) to small and medium sized businesses

Re: 2009/01/06/webex-on-iphone/

I am for iPhone — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 09:30:55 -0000

the phrase "free download" is a little misleading, as a webex account will have to be set up first to be able to participate in meetings, and the iPhone plugin will simply help participate in meetings. talking of communication and collaboration through the iPhone, another cool app is (HyperOffice, which lets you access intranet features through the iPhone - document collaboration, official mail, Outlook mail, calendars, contacts, forums etc.

Re: Zoho Writer Gets Redesigned, Becomes More Like Office

I am for iPhone — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 12:06:56 -0000

i still find it hard to reconcile myself to using purely web based word processing software for business purposes. we are just too used to using MS Office to process data. we use HyperOffice to collaborate on MS Office files, and are able to get the major benefits of online word processing software - remote access, and the ability to collaborate. most systems do already have MS Office installed locally, so accessing files on remote systems isnt much of a problem. we're hoping that the release of Office 14 will completely get rid of this problem.

i was considering act as a crm solution...but its just so expensive!!! plus i needed to set it up on a server. i opted for web based HyperOffice instead which provided me good contact management functionality plus integrated productivity and extranet features.

Re: Newer, Faster, Cheaper iPhone 3G

i am a little dissapointed with exchange activesync for iphone. namely, the fact that you cannot synch tasks and that you cannot simultaneously synch enterprise and individual info. id rather stick with webapps like HyperOffice which allow uncomplicated access and synching with outlook info through the Safari browser.

Wonderful article. Professional discussion forums could be seen as another good way to exploit "Weak ties". You don't necessarily need to have a personal equation to simply go in there and add your input.

Re: Apple's MobileMe Also Has Activation Problems; But Might Be The Killer App For Apple Long-Term

I am for iPhone — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 15:24:26 -0000

for me it falls short of being a killer app because it allows only for management of personal info, and does not allow for sharing of info, which is a vital Exchange feature. there are some other promising apps which allow this like http://iphone.hyperoffice.com. but for it to really happen for them, viral effects have to catch on since they dont have the mega visibility apple has.

Re: More Email Management Tips

I am for iPhone — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 17:10:12 -0000

Making a concerted effort to keep off email for certain types of work could be a good idea. For example:-

- document collaboration (please take a look at the attached document)
- schedule coordination (when will you have the time to talk)
- task management (please finish the document by 10 tomorrow)
- discussions (what do you think about the new plan?)

And shift to online collaboration tools for the above, which offer specialized tools for each of the above. We did a whitepaper on this recently - http://www.hyperoffice.com/business-email-overl...
