Let’s get started• SharePoint mobile pages are….

• The App market has exploded

• Reviews and Killer Features

SharePoint “M” Out of Box…

Disadvantages• Can’t use edit menus, or most

other features. • Browse only• Not user friendly• You must be connected

The “real site” on iPad

Disadvantages• Can use some edit menus but

performance is unreliable. • Get stuck at the “open/edit”• Again, you must be connected

Enter the apps…• Over 50 results in the Apps store if

you conduct a “SharePoint” search

• Variety of offerings, pricing, capabilities

• Which are the best?

5 Apps• Colligo Briefcase

• Harmon.ie

• Filamente

Used QuickOffice Pro HD as editing toolEvaluated the paid version of each, except for Harmon.ie

Evaluated on 1 key scenario:• Can I

1. Log in to a SharePoint site 2. Browse to a file I want3. Check it out4. Edit it (*using QuickOffice Pro, sold separately)

5. Check it back in

- Without reading any documentation

Colligo• Biggest strength is synching offline

content

• Usability is not as good as it could be

• No check-in check-out feature

Colligo – Site Sites

Colligo - Browse Browse

View Files

Colligo - Edit Editing

Synching

Colligo – Final Review• Best for “read-only” offline

synching

• Checking the file in and out was not integrated well into the experience and caused some usability issues

• Because of the synch settings, I was editing an older version of the doc.

Filamente – Quick Review• Similar to Colligo

• Could check the file out but could not determine how to check back in. Caused some usability issues

• Does have integration with Dropbox

SharePlus (Infragistics)• Integration points with SP editing

features are solid

• Synch settings a bit more intuitive

• Good support for questions!

SharePlus – Final Review• Only product where I could

seamlessly conduct my use case scenario

• WINNER!

• Required no reading or instructions

• Assistance was good when I had product questions

Harmon.ie Review• Great UI except for “properties”• Does have check-in check-out built

into the product but I experienced an error

• Does NOT have offline synch• Does have social feeds

Harmon.ie Check-out/

Harmon.ie Social

Updates

In Summary…• Best All-around: SharePlus

• Best UI and Social capabilities: Harmon.ie, but no offline synch

• Colligo and Filamente’s user experiences caused some problems
