Harmon.ie has partnered with five leading mobile
device management vendors to provide a secure, cross-platform, easy to use,
consistent Office 365/SharePoint experience for enterprise IT mobile Android
users, they announced this September. For businesses looking to eliminate Drop
box, Google Drive and other unsecure document sharing/storing services that
employees typically use, and tighten those pesky “leaks” associated with
unsecured storage services; this news is kind of a big deal for them.
Currently
the company offers a full-featured, enterprise-grade Android app that permits
device owners to access SharePoint and Office 365 documents securely on a
subscription basis, with pricing starting at $4 per month. A free version for
simply reading Office 365 and SharePoint documents and a full-featured Premium
version for individuals to read, write, and upload files for a flat $19.99 fee
is also being provided by the company.
Aside
from Apple’s iOS platform and BlackBerry, the Android client is also part of
Harmon.ie’s Mobile Suite. Supporting the suite are Citrix Ready Worx
Verification, the Good Dynamics Secure mobility Platform, AirWatch, MobileIron,
and Samsung KNOX. The three clients provide apps for editing and sharing Office
365 and SharePoint documents, and for reaching out to colleagues by means of
Office 365/SharePoint social capabilities.
“Harmon.ie also provides real-time
updates when colleagues edit important documents; colleagues can then be
contacted with a single click,” the company said. “Workers can expand their
social networks by adding colleagues from the mobile device’s contact list and
keep up to date with harmon.ie’s unified activity stream of collaboration
updates.“
Harmon.ie
backs Office 365 (SharePoint Online) and also hosted solutions for SharePoint
2013, SharePoint 2010, Office SharePoint Server (MOSS 2007), and Windows
SharePoint Services (WSS) 3.0. Pricing consists of email only for $4 per user
per month with a yearly commitment, mobile only for $4 per user per month, and
$6 per user per month for both email and mobile access. As you would expect it
will be cheaper if you buy more licenses. Orders for more than 200 licenses
will necessitate a quote.
“We
are extremely proud to round out our mobile offering with today’s Android
release, and to add such an illustrious set of leading MDM vendors as trusted
partners,” said David Lavenda, VP Product Strategy at harmon.ie. “These new
additions insure that customers now have secure and scalable mobile access to
the document storage systems in which their organization already has a
significant investment; Office 365 and SharePoint, no matter what mobile
devices they use.”
